Prompt #8: Imagine weather indoors: a thunderstorm in the kitchen, a tornado in the family room.
weather inside the house
Clouds gather near the ceiling
Lightning flashes and thunder booms
Darkness signals that rain is nearing
It splashes down and floods the rooms
The formerly made bed now in tatters
The vase on the sill falls and shatters
The wind blows as strong as the waters
That fall with unstoppable splatters– Lucía Garrido (8th grade)
But slowly the rain starts to cease
And the house is finally at peace
All that’s left are the sodden sheets
And more than a few upturned seats
