Notes About The Poem

Written July 11 2026 for contest Ceraunophilia sponsor Craig Cornish

Liquid Lightning

Liquid lightning in starry sky
Ride the moods in ebony eyes
White flashes of electricity 
Tracing silhouette of black tree

Where branches dances 
with white wind
Illuminating leaves of light again 

Silver strikes like a battle ax
Setting fire to house white neon attack

As firemen clothes glow yellow and red
Lightning strong like sky has bled 
It’s streak of light across onyx sky
Makes for an eventful exciting night

Gershon Wolf July 11, 2026 at 8:26 PM I really like this vivid description of lightning, Karen. The colors fit seamlessly, and the impact is as strong as the crackling thunder that follows.
