THE GAME

THE GAME

There was

A loud boom 

And a 

Crash...

I froze

In fright

Rooted to

The spot

Afraid to

Move

Left

Or right!

Another boom

Responded

And i 

Ducked

Cowering...

What was

Happening?

Then, there 

Was a 

Tip and

A tap...

These followed

More of

The same...

With my eyes

Closed 

I thought 

I was going

Insane!

It all went

On

For quite 

A while...

Eyes shut 

Tight 

I was a

Statue 

Of true 

Fright 

Someone

Somewhere

Took a photo 

And the camera

Flash 

Revealed

My whole. 

A voice

Whispered

In my

Ear

Then

And said

It's only 

Thunder

Lightning and

Rain...

Be not

So terribly

Afraid!

It's the

Angels at

Play!
