These two poems of mine are published by The School Magazine, Australia, in different issues.  Please click on images to enlarge.

The magazine has also made a noisy video of the second poem, ‘Downpour’, which you can watch here.

I’ve typed the words of the poems below, for clarity.

Hoping I’ll have reason to post more fine weather poems soon!

Lightning

Dart
Arrow
Zigzag
Line
Symbol
Message
Warning
Sign
Thrill
Shiver
Leap
Dash
Chill down your spine
before the great
CRASH!

Downpour

Rooftop-slapper
window-smacker
streaking from the sky

Shopper-splasher
parcel-trasher
making people fly

Traffic-soaker
engine-choker
forcing cars to brake

Barging, charging, roaring by
blue sky in its wake
