Stormy Summer Nights

a Cinquain written about summer storms

"Stormy Summer Nights"

(in the form of The Cinquain)


Crashing-
Lightning, thunder
Swells the night sky with heat.
Restless, sleepless, those summer nights
Swelter.

Pouring,
Rain saturates,
Permeating through dry earth.
Once parched, arid, now swollen with
Moisture.

Slowly,
The rain subsides,
Withdraws into the night.
A freshness remains, while the Earth
Slumbers.
