The clash of thunder

The flash of lightning

The sweet sorrowful sound

of rain pouring down,

The shiver of excitement

with each roar.

The beating of my heart

matching the pounding of the rain.

I close my eyes in anticipation,

smile at the sky,

and feel all my worries and fears

wash down the street.

This was my first "poem" I ever wrote. I put the quotations because it's not very good. It's still one of my favorites though.

Author guidance for This poem

I know I am clearly putting myself on the firing line with this one, but hey, what the hell.

This is a poem from my very first collection, apparently it was written on the 2nd of September 2004.

I would like it if you took into account that I was a novice when I wrote this haha.

As a continuation, I figure it'd be cool if anyone else wants to post, they could post something from early on in their writing "career" and you can have a look at how much you've changed/improved.
