Melissa is hosting Poetics in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ our poetic challenge ~ the ‘unpunctuated’ poem.
while others dive
beneath blankets
counting seconds between
flash and boom
i fling open
the curtains
hostess with the
mostest
thunder arrives wearing
muddy boots
lightning shows off like
my cocky cousin at a reunion
and i sit there grinning
the neighborhood oddity
with weather in her heart
it's called ceraunophilia
which sounds suspiciously
like a tropical disease
but it simply means
when the sky throws
a tantrum
i feel strangely at home
in my element
