The thunder use to scare the life out of me but I forced myself to stare it down a while back and since I don’t feel the fear, maybe not at all would be too strong, but I don’t freak the way I use to. jk
Great poem, love especially that first line. I have had “lightning crackled fright” in so many situations when the sky was blue.
