The Blade in the Rain

What a sword it is
    to give a wound to the sky
What a spark it is
    when it shoots up in the air
What a shock it is
    to know it lasts for a sec
What a blade it is
    when it frizzles the cold lead

High it hits to save time linking with clouds
Hydrogen it changes to let plants grow in health
Storm it signifies to help us predict the weather
Fear it brings to children with a deafening boom

Sparkling it does
Loudly it calls
No one can ignore
The doing of Thor.

(Author's note: Thor is the Greek god who controls lightning.)
