The passing wind whooshed by,
leaving the drips of rain scattered.
The clap of thunder resonates,
the crack of lightning left a mark that mattered.
The storm rumbles on,
leaving the earth tattered.

Written for the Trifextra Post: On to the weekend challenge. This weekend we want you to give us 33 words (exactly) that include among them at least one example of onomatopoeia. When looking for a good page to link to in order to help describe the device, we stumbled upon our very own Apoplectic Apostrophes‘ post on literary devices. Check it out if you need help remembering how onomatopoeia work.

love your blog
Thanks very much. I really appreciate that!
no problem , blogging is great cause you get to connect with so many people.these days it’s all digital only if there were more ways to make money in the digital world.
Good golly, Miss Polly! Not only have we forgotten that big ol’ word, but we’re impressed that you know how to spell it!! 🙂
Lol….I cheated a little on the spelling. 🙂
(so did we)

I always liked how the air felt before a thunderstorm. Before air conditioning, you would have to run around the house and close windows. I guess it was the relief from the heat.
I am a storm watcher. We used to turn the couch around in our living room to watch them from the picture window.
I can feel the wind blowing from here.
🙂 There is nothing better than a good storm wind.
You did a lot in 33 words. There was a lot of action with the wind. Good job.
Thanks Lance!
Beautiful prompt!
Thank you very much.
Such a great description, and I love the rhyming elements.
Thanks Draug! Much appreciated.
Sometimes the storms do leave the earth tattered – I liked your descriptions!
Thank you. 🙂
I love this line, in particular:
“the crack of lightning left a mark that mattered.”
For some reason this has me thinking of an exclamation mark as a crack of lightning. So cool.
Thanks very much.
I can hear it, feel it and smell it. Nicely done! 😀
Thank you very much. 🙂
Fantastic descriptions here and I love the word onomatopoeia! 😀
Thank you!! 🙂
Simply beautiful & I can relate to it more just now as we had a huge bout of thunder storm with torrential rains today:-)
Thank you – and I hope you’re safe and dry!
