Rain falling..,.
Lightning flashing, Almighty crashing
Rumbling, tumbling
Dumping, thumping
Thrashing, lashing,
Splashing,
Drenching
Tornados twisting, swirling
Rocks hurling, rivers rising
Merging, surging, purging
Torrential thrusting,
Bridge
busting
Floooooooooooooooooooooding
Cars turning, upturning
Overturning, stomach churning
Gut wrenching, mind drenching
Accelerating, trapping,
Suffocating
Devastating,
Distant Screaming,
Deafening, threatening
Water rushing, gushing
Unnerving, submerging
Choking, Suffocating,
Asphyxiating
Souls Perishing
Drowning, Searching,
Hoping, Rescuing
Searching
Drowning
Searching
Drowning, Drowning
Bodies floating
Bobbing, popping
Bloating
Bodies floating
Morning breaking
Rude awakening
Hearts aching
Backs breaking
God forsaking
For Heavensaking
Floods abating
Cars mosaicing
Colours blending
Never ending
Metal creaking
Rainbow streaking
Body counting
Cost accounting
Hearts pounding
Losses mounting
Early mourning
Nation mourning
Climate changing
Tempers raging
Life changing
Rearranging
Game changing
Sun shining

Nice Graham, builds thee tension with its form very well indeed.
Thanks Alice
I wrote this just after the phenominal rainfall, that lasted just a few hours.
It was ironic that following those dreadful hours the sun came out ..thats when i wrote it.
The rains shifted up to Barcelona, leaving behnd devastation
it was the irony i was trying to capture

I like the format of this poem. It says a lot but reads quickly in a poetic way. Why did you end it with "Sun shining?"
