Nightmare grey
on a summer day
Zeus’ rolling percussion,
hiss and flash
Then the onset of rain,
deliverer from torridity
– James Steerforth

Torridity is the perfect word for a summer storm and captures the music of one. Thanks.
Lovely. Torridity is a very cool word.
I love the images your words have placed in my mind!
I love a little nightmare grey on a summer’s day!
It is happening here right now, and I know I should be off this computer!
that is exactly as it was on a sunday afternoon just a few days ago…
I love the opening line– right out of Poe!
i like the line on “nightmare grey on a summer’s day”…ive been to that…
