This poem is really well done. I enjoyed the fast pace and rhythmic beat you've created here. Good word choices throughout and illustrated well. Marilyn

    Hi Marilyn, Thanks for your review and I was luck to gain a third for this so that is great. These contests always make me think up something along with the picture challenges (so far behind though even with my week away, but now home where the computer is so much faster and I can go back and check out every-ones work Cheers Christine

    Hi Christine. This being the first of the year we are challenged to review everyone's work and can easily get overwhelmed. I'm happy you placed in the contest and hope you're having a wonderful vacation. Marilyn

You do exaggerate, but why not? To just say these noises are a little unsettling and such, wouldn't make for a interesting or involving poem or be cacaphonic, which your poem is.Good luck in the contest.

    Hi Don I can assure you there is no exaggeration on my behalf I am petrified of storms and if one comes I do dash inside and draw the curtains etc and block my ears. My family all know how I feel and let me do this. It all started as a child when my Grandfather took me outside as a four year old and told me about lightning that woul Kill Ya well that was enough for me And ai have been scared ever since I cannot look at lightning under any circumstances. ( I won a competition a couple of years ago called 'Storms give me Palpitations ' if you would like to read it it is in my profile ) The day I wrote this one last week I heard some rain on the roof and thought of a storm approaching and this is the result. LOL And Ihope it gave me good material for this contest. Cheers for you good luck wishes and Have a Great New Year. Cheers Christne

    I was teasing, Christine, which I wouldn't have done if I knew how serious your fear of storms is.
    Wishing you a dry 2018.
    Happy New Year!

This is an excellent Cacophony poem. The words you chose to describe the storm certainly can be heard. I can envision the beginning of the storm, "pitter, patter" and the acceleration as it became stronger. I especially liked the ending, "Fingers....."

Well you have certainly painted a vivid picture of stormy weather with words! It flowed well and didn't sound contrived. Should do well in the contest.

Silly isn"'t t it but I had a bad experience as a child when my grandfather told me that lightning would Kill Ya. have a Lovely New Year and see you in 2018 Cheers

A very well-written cacophony poem. All the sounds of an approaching storm can be very fearful. When it finally comes down it is usually over very quickly.

Well, this is simply an excellent Cacophony poem, Anonymous Poet.
A perfect poetic post portraying exceptional examples of Onomatopoeia.
Choosing a thunderstorm as your topic was a wise move as there are a myriad of sounds associated with them.
It's hard to imagine anything topping this.
However, this IS FanStory, so anything can happen.

    Hi zekeziemann. Thanks for your positive comments for my entry for this contest. I thought I would give it a go and my fear of storms and the sound of rain this morning prompted these thoughts. Cheers
