thunder rolled in
from the south east
it roared as a wild
untamed beast
creatures took to
havens secure
as the ensuing tempest
did bring its demure
volleys of thunder resound
in our undulating terrain
within the next few minutes
there will be a torrent of rain
drops fall from the dark clouds
onto the landscape's arid cloak
their endowments of wetness
received as a goodly soak
the countryside infused
with a quenching drink
quelling the thirst of its
dry unfilled sink
soils bereft of dampness
for such a long time
jubilantly hearing the sounds
of a saturating rhyme
thunder heralded
this afternoon across the sky
bringing a downpour
as it passed by
