Tiny droplets begin to rocket towards the ground
Like suicidal airmen
Outraged, their masters furiously clash,
Huge thunderclouds in the air!
They send down bright arrows to pin down their troops
The battle and confusion is in its height,
When a sudden savior comes to brighten the sky
She stretches and smiles
And all is well
Just another thunderstorm battle
Leaving glistening tears upon the Battlegrounds

Of course, it was raining when I wrote this. But surprisingly, it was no thunderstorm!

When asked about race...<br /> <br /> &quot;Well, when I went to the bathroom I was Russian, and when I came out I was Finnish.&quot;<br /> <br /> or, alternatively:<br /> <br /> &quot;Irish I could tell you.&quot;

I love the metaphor of the thunderstorm being like a battle. I've never thought about myself being under attack by the weather, but that's an interesting visual! Great job!
