An Autumn Fold

 Crackling lightning follows rowdy thunder;

My Mac-burger and Coke held for dear tighter,

No one told me i would be in this blunder;

The very sky did, of a foreign country,

Dormant minutes ago speaks rowdy thunder,

Vacation do and don'ts didn't list

Carry an umbrella,  no wonder

Oh bless my heart today i am doused so 

In pouring rain like a flounder

Autumn  trees in there colourful garb watch me

Protecting Mac and Coke in rowdy thunder

    I enjoyed the drama of your autumn fold, Gillena. I love a good storm and I imagine you get quite a few of them. The opening line sets the scene so well.

    I saw above that this was a memory from a visit to NYC. It's not fun to get caught in a thunderstorm! I like your "rowdy" thunder. Thank you for giving us the form! 💙

    One has to get one's priorities right Gillena - nothing worse than a soggy Mac and watery coke - even a rain flattened flounder would turn their nose up lol. Great use of the form, but since it is yours, we would expect nothing less...

    In spite of the fact that I am a diehard Pepsi fan, I thoroughly enjoyed your fold poem. I tried, but failed. However I love the form's rules and will try again, soon.
