POETRY
JAM
lightning
LIGHTNING
STRIKING
Awesome
Electric
Shocking
and
moment of natures sparked wonder.
Worrisome
No picnic
Surprising
and
moment of natures magic
and thunder
I really don't
know
about this
power show
when I am
in the wrong place
at
the wrong time
it frightens me
deep inside
when I am safe
and can watch
in wonder and joy
like a kid
with a
new
toy
or at the
4th of July
the power
makes me smile
deep
inside
The wind was to strong and I was on a bike and in the wrong place ar the wrong time so I did not capture the lightning strikes but the clouds say it all....one of those times that the power of nature captures you...deep inside with its awesome forces and I was wishing to watch from some place safe to enjoy the beauty
Lightning IS indeed frightening when you are out in it....or when it hits too close to home. But very wondrous, if one stops to ponder its power indeed.

ReplyDeletethanks it was fun to think about and type
Deleteyou def dont want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time in a lightning storm....i like how the words mirror the subject in their structure...
ReplyDeleteI know that from the many times I needed to be inside!
Deleteand yes, you may.
Deletesmiles.
Great shape to the poem underlining the whole theme and like the polarisation between being caught out and watching the storm from the safety of within
ReplyDeleteI love watching from inside
DeleteLove the visual aspect of your poem like a lightning strike, and I agree... it can be scary.
ReplyDeletelightning seems to have a recognizable shape
Deletescary yet enjoyable.......Nature has some colors....a beautiful write up and the layout of the poem....
ReplyDeletethe color can be awesom
DeleteHow true! Lightning is daunting, but far less so from the comfort of home. I like the shape of your poem!
ReplyDeletelightning comes with rain and it is so much better from inside
DeleteVery visceral, Rae, as the dancing pulsing words of your verse take on the guise of branch lightning themselves; a very imaginative take on the prompt; thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like the way your poem is shaped like lightning strikes. Neat cloud photos too.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching a really big lightning storm in the middle of the night once - remarkable to watch from safe inside.
ReplyDeleteI agree - love when I'm home and safe and can watch a storm.
ReplyDeleteThe lightning strike form works beautifully ......
ReplyDeleteI am the same as you- it's lots more enjoyable watching it from a safe place! Cheers!
