First Line: Black night of chaos

Subject(s): Storms
Black night of chaos --
Wild lightnings flash
Whitely like negro eyes.
Rain pelts in disordered gusts,
While trees shake their branches
In protest.
The moon looks out on the disharmonic scene,
Then disgustedly flees behind a cloud.
The thunders belch forth their presence,
Loudly demanding attention,
And the wind shrieks a maniacal lullaby
To them all.
