Caren Krutsinger Poet Personification

Lightning Laughs

clouds extend a high five to each other
crowding and swirling
into a gray frenzy
worse than subway pushing

lightning laughs, choosing her tree.
a tall mighty oak, a hundred years old.
In seconds she splits it in half
zapping it with a blast that scares the family inside the house

oozing with power she grins at the clouds
reminding them who is boss

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 21, 2019 at 8:27 AM You have captured the spectacular in this write, lovely done Caren! xomo Caren Krutsinger June 21, 2019 at 3:17 PM Thank you Maureen. I am listening to thunder and adoring the concept of a big flash of lightning right now.

Gershon Wolf June 20, 2019 at 9:48 PM Vintage Caren Krutinsger, esp. those last two lines. You've got me grinning too. Could the lightning's personification person possibly be you?! ~ gw Caren Krutsinger June 21, 2019 at 6:19 AM Yes, of course, it is always me. Always. HAHAHAHAHA! (Maniacal laughter now). You know Trixie has enlisted assistant muses.

Kim Rodrigues June 20, 2019 at 3:30 PM Ooh and ahh! We had such a tree explosion! Caren Krutsinger June 21, 2019 at 6:20 AM You should have heard our house the day the lightning hit our air conditioning compressor! It was AMAZINGLY LOUD

Heidi Sands June 20, 2019 at 1:48 PM Wow! Great one Caren :) Caren Krutsinger June 21, 2019 at 6:21 AM Thank you Heidi. It looks like a storm today, thus, this is what I came up with in honor of the possibility or it, which I am always looking forward to, as no one loves a storm as much as I. I am especially fond of lightning and adore thunder!
