Hoots of thunder in twilight

Away sounds of distant thunder

sparks prayer for cool weather

for a moment humidity flees 

silence is broken by rustling trees

 sounds of night competing

as distant thunder abates the heat

coming dawn gazes upon the scene

coming unforgiving Sun-

not caring a hoot…

 

 

Sitting in my chair, the crack of distant thunder inspired this piece. I hope it does justice to this week’s Quadrille prompt on dVerse – Quadrille #219 – A Poetic Hootenanny

Join in and “give a hoot about the rules and write a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting the title), including some semblance of the word hoot…“

Cheers! 🙂

  3. I enjoy thunderstorms; we used to get lots when I was a child, but not so many these days. I love the way distant thunder haunts your quadrille.
