I first heard this poem read out loud from a slide in my Year 2 class. I loved it so I wrote it out as best I could from memory when I got home. But, I don’t know who first wrote it. If you do, please let me know so I can include their name here. Thanks!

I hear a BOOM! A crack of thunder.

Hug my blanket. Cuddle under.

Tell me storm cloud, are you mad?

Disappointed? Scared or sad?

I understand when things don’t go my way.

I too get grumpy, grouchy, grey.

I get it, storm cloud, I understand.

I understand that you just need some time to be loud.

But in the morning, when you’re done,

could you please bring out the sun?
