Your poem effectively captures the suddenness and clarity of an epiphany with concise and vivid imagery, Natasha. The use of "lightning" and "penny drops" metaphorically illustrates both the immediate impact and the idea of understanding something previously obscure. Short but so exquisite.

Thanks Sotto 😊. I was struggling to think for this one. I don't usually write short poems but as you brought out about immediate impact, the shortness packs the punch and works for this theme. Thank you for your generous observations 😊😉
