An Ottava Rima. It has eight iambic lines, consisting of three rhymes a-b-a-b-a-b-c-c

A sunny day can fade away, transform
When dark clouds brew up heavy in the sky
The sea churns and froths waiting for the storm
As thunder claps and lightning flashes by
Trees bow and bend branches as they perform
So find shelter safely somewhere nearby
While winds howl and blow with ferocity
And mother nature gains velocity
