flash, crash, wake-up Now!
huddle under covers with each strobe of room
power, anger, fear, Boom!
exalted energy bursts of awe
percussion clangs off skyscraper walls
and gives wings to emotions with each sound
overhead whomp, whomp, whomp steps heavy
metal chimes jangle
fast notes tinkle
pica-pica-patta-pica
wind and rain strike a rhythm
tap-tap-rat-a-tat-tat
rumbles echo, bang, rattle, roll,
they swell, ebb, drift away

Enchantment
Today is a day of enchantment
Elves elude, fairies dance
Pixie dust shimmers in the air
Anything is possible
Child-like innocence
Awe
World a foreign land
Treasures before me
Vast endless prairies
Open fields
Fresh thirst quenching water
An abundance of food
Local, organic, and global delicacies
Delightful lick of creamy ice cream
quickly melting atop waffle cone
Savory scent of barbecue wafts in air
Threat of thundershowers add to
Mystique and joy of the day
Conjure illusions of
Scaly dragons with fiery breath
Today is a magical day
Full of familiar sights
wearing a marvel sheen
