BOMBS AWAY (Monday Poem)

by Sara Holbrook


It happens when
the weather warms.
The sky explodes
in thunderstorms.

Cloud puffs change
from white to gray.
The sun retreats,
then
BOMBS AWAY!

Forget those ten umbrellas,
the hat,
or the place to hide.
When storm clouds start to grumble,
I want
a good friend
by my side.
