June Thunder

[spadesclaret]

A splendid thunder storm here in Norfolk. The following is so accurate -

...................impending thunder
With an indigo sky and the garden hushed except for
The treetops moving.

Then the curtains in my room blow suddenly inward,
The shrubbery rustles, birds fly heavily homeward,
The white flowers fade to nothing on the trees and rain comes
Down like a dropscene.

from June Thunder by Louis MacNiece
