Best Bolt Poems

A spark cast by a careless deed,
it catches fire and sparks twigs weed.
A hushed town that is dull at last,
a Careless deed, by a spark cast.

East winds howl to display their might,
and spout flames to a sturdy height.
Blaze any grace in that house foul,
to display...

Jamaican Usain Bolt
Was found to be at fault
When he dashed off on a whim
No one kept up with him....

Score's zip to zilch, last inning's near halfway through
at Gettysburg Commons' baseball league playoff.
Champion Graycoats at their posts hitherto -
Blue Jackets hear the pitcher's husky cough -

a clue to the catcher - this batter's toast.
Pickett lobs the pitch from high on his perch,
Meade smacks it...

Unfettered lightning lash through the fury of the rain,
Sizzle mouths dry with shock of glory. 
Athlete that made our jubilee golden, mighty Usain
Inciting the petrified blend each new victory
Nested within love of hope and love of glory.

Bridge us through the overbrimming and the pride
Olympian, orbit...

Like a lightning bolt, it came,
a phone call from a man,
a call that rocked my world.
His words- my birth mother,
looking for me- and he found me.
Oh God, how could this be?
The only mom I know is
not the mother of my blood?

What is my real birth...

A bolt-on accessory capable of being
Bolted to truck without crumbling
One like a thunder bolt rumbling
On a hundred distant track

This thunder bolt is a super machine of sorts
Perfected into a system of receptacle ports
Bolt is an example of that perfection

Bolt has legs rather than tyre pegs

You got roasted the moment I walked away from your reach 
Everyday, I wish I could be at the sundrenched beach...
What about you practice what you preach 
Be very careful what you teach 
Because what goes around comes back around
Reap what you sow because you...

Lightning, seemingly from hell
rained down on us one summer eve.
We expected to hear the death bell 
toll as fire and brimstone we perceive.

We were scattered about the house
not accustomed to cringing at nature
The lightning popped constantly close
Reducing us minute by minute in stature.

When suddenly there...

He's in the starting position, he looks to the sky, kissing the cross around his neck
No time to joke he's representing the black, green and gold
His eyes fixed to the finish line 
Winning is the only mission in mind
It’s time for business...the gun goes off...

I walked a long time on this earth with blinkers on my eyes
When one day suddenly I was struck by a bolt from the sky
Hey you down there what do you think of yourself?
I’m going to take away your health and your wealth
I had strutted...

The sky has darkened, something is coming
Dread has entered my fearful listless heart
Beyond the horizon darkness has filled
Terror has become me, just every part

Feelings of delight can’t enter my soul
The effects of the darkness seeps in me
Then it happens, lightning strikes all around
Seeming like many...

Love is a lightning bolt


This lightning bolt of love struck my heart in a flash;
Immediately I knew that you were the one.
From the first time is saw you, I would never give that image back;
There you were, hiding behind your smile, with your make up...

Electrical charged streamers
form zigzag pathway between earth and sky,
fireworks nature during a thunderstorm....

Something minute had been carefully tucked away, it was a nut
Got loose, rolled helplessly away, had no direction afraid, she shut
Her eyes, and slowly rolled towards a destined force,
An eager bolt nearby bolt gave her the eye, she thought to pause,
She looked at him said...

How was I to know a lightning bolt
would zig-zag into me? My body lies there on the ground,
a nurse, doing CPR.
Shocked voices. All eyes focused on the victim.
	
While over the way, I stand. Separate. Watching. 
I move to tap a friend’s shoulder, saying,  that’s...
