Storm Garrit by Adam Rutter


Midnight

Listen silence

Fireworks

Boom crack screams sizzles

 

Watch hour hand

Everybody counts down

Cheering

Clapping

Colours paint air

Rockets open handkerchiefs

Show magic

Colours splash London Eye

 

It's morning

Streets quiet

Neighbourhood sleeps

 

Winter

Storm Garrit rages

Punches trees

Clouds burst

Rain drenches earth

Lightning flares up night sky

Thunder blasts

Wi-Fi blows out

I especially like the rather unexpected last line 😊

There was literally a lightning strike in Bridgnorth, in December.
