In the poem ‘A Thunderstorm’ Emily Dickinson depicts the scene created by a thunderstorm.
First a strong wind begins to blow rocking the grass. Dark clouds gather in the sky casting threatening shadows on the earth and in the sky.
The strong wind severs leaves attached to the trees, and they are blown here and there; similarly, dust and sand are also blown into the air and get scattered on roads and almost everywhere.
The wagons and vehicles on the road also feel the impact of the thunderstorm; though their speed is lessened, but they are buffeted by the strong wind. Then the lightning flashes in the sky showing its yellow beak and blue claws.
Birds take shelter in their nests; animals hide themselves in barns. Then the rain begins. First of all a big drop falls, followed by torrent. It appears as if the hands that were holding a dam had let the water flow. The dam appeared to be in the backdrop of her father’s house that had a tree in its lawn.
