Jagged

JAGGED

My drawn line
Not so straight as planned
So jagged
And ugly
It resembles sheet lightning
Yet it pleases me

A freedom
To join sky with earth
With a jolt
Of bright light
As its path cuts through the air
A hint of ozone

A symbol
For comic heroes
As a flash
On the chest
But there were and are, bad links
So it’s straight lines now
