Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Lightning

They say lightning only strikes once
or does it strike at all
Depends on life and death or are you
ready to take the fall
Can you see the bright light
as it strikes into the night
A game of roulette played
standing in the pouring rain
For lightning only strikes once and
that may be your last call
Watch that it does not strike twice
or you wouldn't be here at all.
