Thunder & Lightning
by Rebecca Valentino
Thunder and lightning
There’s nothing more frightening
Than all the loud noises it
Brings
With a crack and a boom
I hide in my room
And under my covers I
Cling
But louder and louder
And closer and closer
The cracks and the booms
Become
So deeper and deeper
I dig in my covers
And now to avoid it I
Hum
The thunder’s still louder
And the lightning much brighter
Than my voice or my nightlight could
Be
So I scream to my mom
And then to my Dad
“Oh please would you come sleep with
Me!”
