right now
the thunder grumbles its last complaints to the rain
people drive timid through flashing yellow lights
an angry parent yells frustrated at lights left on
kids tiptoe to their rooms from the top of the stairs

A tense mood poem that captures the sense of dangerous weather, inside and out. Well done.
Kris, I agree with Kevin. The tension in this poem is sublime.
Love: “the thunder grumbles its last complaints to the rain”
Even though the thunder ebbs, you sprinkle a touch of tension in this scene with the yellow light image. It feels like there’s a monster lurking!
