QUESTION:Explain the importance of the first line of each stanza. How do these lines develop the central idea of the poem? Use 2 details to support your response. * The story since I don't know the name of it:

Z-Z-Z-Z-ZAP
The sky cracks apart
spilling shards of light
over the landscape

BOOM!
Clouds roil overhead-
soon the sky is a sea
filled with grey waves

SPLAT!
Sudden rain soaks the soil
and washes summer dust
from the parched earth
