A Work of Art

Prompt:Must use following words:nature drift woods boulders eyes hawk rumble flame

Thunder rumbles
through the woods;
its percussion sounding
like hundreds
of bass drums.
Lightning strikes shoot
forked flames of electricity;
giant gnarled fingers
in the dark sky.
Giant boulders
are illuminated
by the sudden flashes.
A night hawk
blinks his eyes
in response to the brilliance
as he soars
above the tree line.
The wind howls
a mournful aria.
Its voice vacillates
from staccato to
crescendo,
and back again.
A symphony of rain
paints rivulets
washing over its
rugged masterpieces.
The storm drifts
slowly northward,
carrying its
passionate theatrics
to other venues.
We are reminded,
yet again
of nature's fury.
