Chatterbox: Inkwell

I wrote this

I wrote this free verse poem today and was wondering if it was any good because I never really wrote one before.

Storm

 

Thud, thud, thud, 

Squeak, squeak, squeak

The winshield wipers go.

The rain gets hard.

The thunder, loud.

The lightning, bright.

The air, cold,

The car, slow.

We wait.

Wait to arrive.

Wait to get home, 

To be warm, 

To be cozy, 

And to feel safe.

But the house is far, 

The rain, hard.

The thunder, loud.

The lightning, bright.

The air, cold,

The car, slow.

And we wait.

I really like that, Butterfly! I like how you include the onomatopeias and descriptive words so it's easy to visualize. I also like how you used the repetition towards the end, which really ties it all together. Great job! :)
