Spring Storms

May 28, 2014
By Anonymous

The rain of spring falls upon the dry ground,
the thunder claps with a big rattling boom.
The wind blow,shakes the house scaring the hound.
The brutal hail spelling the window's doom,
the clouds bearing rain move with massive speeds.
In the calm of it all, a tree stands tall.
The storm fulfills all the tree's urgent needs.
Blowing wind picks up and carries it all;
braving the storm, lightning pierces the sky.
The tempest come to cleanse the world anew,
the leaves fly about landing far an by.
Branches lay scattered about all askew.
As the wind blows away the almighty rain,
all be well until the rain comes again.

I wrote this sonnet because it was required by the teacher, it didn't need to be in iambic pentameter, but I thought I'd challenge myself by trying and this was the turn out. My teacher felt that it was really good so I decided I should submit it.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
