Blue Lightning

In the enchanted darkness
A scintillating flash of lightning
as if cast by a black witch
or spewed forth like some dragon-breath
futile attempts to circumvent being hit
thrown from your bicycle in a fiasco
stunned, extremely laborious breathing
inquisitive lungs beg for intubation
as if needing a refresher course
devastated, yet thankful to be alive
injuries seem purely superficial and benign
hair looking as if styled by an autotonsorialist
some random bad luck or a fateful warning
one isolated blue lightning strike

26 Jun 2009

Today’s poem is about a major rare storm that just leaves people in awe and feeling small when facing the fury of an angry Mother Nature. This poem inspired by the following 13 random words (in blue):
@Zorlone (metamorphosis), @shemah (legendary), @MeghnaK (enthusiasm), @rockalong (fishing), @KathrynVercillo (putrid), @filigreegirl (stampings), @anefallarme (exquisite), @PlotDog (procrastination), @RemBeatZ (thunder), @jeremylewit (extricate), @evliving (Mistify), @imjstsayin (diligence), @craftyGAgal (Georgia)

The Legendary Storm

Thunder crashes like clanging metal stampings
a lingering procrastination before another flash
exquisite putrid rain drowns all with enthusiasm
fishing for a victim, lightning strikes from the sky
metamorphosis occurs as rain shifts to hail
Mother Nature herself continues to mystify
as the diligence of raw fury and power is felt
we all sought to extricate ourselves
from this legendary Georgia storm

Ancient Storms

Have you ever heard the thunder crack
White horses on a dark clouds back
Hot air is charged so naturally
Fear and awe, so wondrous to see

Ancient storms demand no toll
Yet a tug is felt within your soul
Sky so dark, an endless night
Flashes of power, providing brief light

Swollen heavy rain drops fall
Bursting open against a wall
Your focus held against your will
The storms power holds you still

Today’s poem consisted of 12 random words and it was voted for a dark poem, when I wrote this poem several things came to mind including the latest Stephen King book “Duma Key” as well as the movie “The Perfect Storm”.Â Told more like a story in complete freeform, this poem is about a treasure hunter (explorer) who risks it all to find the ultimate treasure.

Thanks to the following people for submitting their words (highlighted in blue in the poem):

@howelegant (ultimate), @RobinJP (breakthrough), @brotherbob69 (stilt), @WebBetty (wanderlust), @azredneck (ocean), @BlazingMinds (auntie), @infohwyman (ingenius), @summerbreeze80 (erection), @grumpy79 (breeze), @SurfCityJay (beginnings), @coyotesqrl (fringe), @darksaturn7 (spinner)

As always you can play my daily twitter poetry game every weekday, just tweet me @dragonblogger with a random word when you want to play.

The Final Treasure Hunt

Twisted malignant storm brewing
Ocean exploding with anger
Once an innocent breeze
Now the ultimate gale

A single ship thrown among the waves
The explorer’s wanderlust from earlier
now not such an ingenious plan
he is stuck out on the fringe

Dark beginnings are underway
A wave casts the ship sideways
The mast looking like a stilt
The explorer crashes into the bow

The mast standing at high erection
A bolt of lightning finds its mark
Blinding light and deafening boom
The man then bathed in dark

His body plunges overboard
His arms beating fast and fierce
A single rope dragging him like a spinner
Bouncing wave after wave

The rope snaps and his hopes drown
To think he almost had a breakthrough
Treasure lies beneath his feet
Which now cannot find solid ground

His Auntie Michele warned him
Today just was not right
But his eagerness was too much
Now an undertow pulls him under

Bubbles escape from his lips
The surface just out of his reach
Lungs on fire he has to breath
Icy cold liquid fills his lungs

Body seizes and fingers twitch
Pain and fear etch across his lips
His eyes stuck open seeing all yet none
His final thoughts are his days are done
