Saved Symphony

Anticipation heavy
then
With fury and fervor
A symphony arrives
First, low rumbling, then
FLASH
The cascade begins,
Rain dances in crowns,
its impact
for a split-second
reflected back
Want to capture the crowns
And save them
Not for a rainy day,
For the steamy day
When I'll toss them about
To relive the storm

For more Flash Friday 55, go see g-man's comments. That's where you leave your link, too.

Thanks go to the amazingly gifted Jane at Aging Mommy. She wrote a wonderful poem about a storm as a symphony. I stole her idea and made my own. Here's hers. (At the bottom of the post, but don't skip it! She writes with humor and honesty.)

I love this Tina - some day you and I will get to sit on the deck with a glass of chardonnay and watch a storm together.
