Premium Member Empire State Building and Lightning
How many times has the Empire State Building been struck by lightning? I was guessing three or four then I remembered how old she is. So, I guessed twenty times. If I took that times five, I would be a lot closer to an accurate guess....

It’s raining cats and dogs Do you know why Us young kids shout Devil is beating his wife What crazy superstitions We had in North Carolina A woman’s intuition Was powerfully finer Step on a crack Break your mother’s back Why would you do that It’d make her very sad My muse has had a few Forgive my inconsistency The more writing I...

Premium Member Ghost Horses
The dismal, drizzling midnight and happenstance finds her lost by an empty field with few things left to lose and even fewer shames concealed. She lifts her face to the rain and loses herself to nature's forces. When at last she looks back down; she first sees the ghost horses. Two white ones, one brown...

When Thunder Follows Lightning
The air hangs heavy, still, a silent shroud, Before a tremor cuts through the waiting crowd. A distant crack, a sharp and sudden tear, And then the rumble drawing ever near. The speed of sound, a constant measured pace, A finite journey through time and empty space. Yet in that limit, paradox resides, A delayed witness to what fate provides. The lightning flashes,...

Playing Tag With Thunder
Lightning flashes so brightly outside; rain's falling fast and furious. Feeling vibrations in my fingers jolts loosen the window pane. Delightful, but frightful, quivers follow. Mummy shudders, shoulders and head; Sissy covers up her ears. I'm deaf, my other senses eagerly expect something after sparks. I wait and faces change. Like a sudden tag game, I see the brilliant flashes. Sissy tags me, "You're IT!" I can guess...

The Thunder Rolls
The thunder rolls as the sky flashes bright. The clouds roll in as the lightning strikes. The children all tucked in snug in their bed, as mom walks away, "I'm scared", they all said. You hear that sound, she says, the thunder rolling, Do not be afraid, for it's only God and his angels bowling. But the lightning, they cry, it's...

A Silent Thunder
The dark clouds pur, And there's nothing but blur. While the cool breeze whispers , The thunder awaits to strike. The grass murmurs, A big storm is coming. And the lightning has struck, The thunder awaits to strike. On a quiet full moon night, The cricket are chirping. A cloud bursts into droplets of water, The thunder awaits to strike Water is gushing down the gutters, A...

Premium Member Lightning
I traveled 50 miles, To listen to the screams of skies, And to feel the pounding of droplets, As the sky showed me its demise. In its fury it banished the stars, And under the lighting it poured. The pain it evoked showed the scars - That its rolling thunder had scored. I fled before it arrived, A beauty too destructive to meet. But it...

Soul Storm
Do not listen for me in wind whispers Or echoes down the lane, My spirit would never settle For such quiet and mundane. I won't be found in soft starlight Or twinkles on velvet snow, Toward things quiet and serene Isn't where my soul would go. Not among sleepy night forests Or captive in the lyrics of a song, Amidst the tranquil and...
