The Sight of Lightning - Sensually Speaking

Sight of lightning, something to behold Lighting night folds in tans and gold Magical fingers illuminating sky Vanishing zippers, blink of an eye Showers begin, melting sugar, spice Drips pelting skin, certainly feels nice Dancing ballet, lovers admiring puddles Foregoing rubbers, desiring warm cuddles Licking streams of tears, salts rain’s taste Ballet waltz, flicking droplets caress face Blinking wet lashes, then dreamy surprise Steamy gazes, lightning flashes brown eyes Yes, enjoyable sight, winter’s dark morn In formidable strength, thunderous storm Without wonderous love, might be frightening Yet shared delight, the sight of lightning Love's natural storms knock off our socks When lightning shocks like a jack in the box Written 2/15/18 Contest: Describe a thunderstorm without sound Host: Brenda Chiri

Hi Rhoda...back to re-read this and check out the weather:) It's been many moons since I last heard Night Moves by Bob Seger ... I'm off to look it up again. Regards // paul

So no raincoat for rain or else. I had to say that. Another beautifully written Rhoda-poem, the flow and content are both captivating, plus I love the kicker at the end. Talent, sweet one. Thank you for your kindness in reaching out to me once u figured out I'm going thru a 'thing.' Still not thru it and your sincere concern meant volumes to me. I like you. I'm okay, my Tim is supportive, so is Our Father though the latter refuses to whisper an answer into my ear. So thanks & love .. CayCay

Lmao...no rubbers OR raincoat. A jack in the box is kind of a cool way to describe it, isn't it? Makes me want to go buy one...I hear Toys R Us is having a sale! Pushes to front of the line.

You always know just where my mind went...Familiar with the song "Night Moves" by Bob Seger? If not, take a youtube peek.

Storms are amazing and can be frightening and destructive. I like your passionate perspective.

Rhoda Tripp
Date: 2/20/2018 10:23:00 PM

Thank you, Rick. It's a different way of looking at a storm, although, I've always been a fan of Bob Seger's "Night Moves" song so I must give him a bit of credit. Not much, though...
