Trying to develop some
word skills to improve my poetry. Working on personification. Make a
list of verbs, nouns and adjectives then combine them. Try it, it's fun. 
Verbs-slinks, gathers, claims, shouts, desires, announces, Nouns-sun,
clouds, rain, thunder, hail, trees Adjectives-thristy, quiet, reflective,
outspoken, silent, boisterous
SUMMER SPEAKS
Silent clouds slink
quietly
     
  across the darkened sky.
Thunder announces its
arrival
     
  with outspoken shouts.
Reflective rain gathers
courage
     
  to make its appearance.
Thristy trees anxiously
desire
     
  another storm's onslaught.
Monsoon's hail arrives
boisterously
     
  claiming our attention.
Now you try it and leave
your poem or prose in a comment....
