RE: rumpled still skin?

Lightning, so like branches in a vein.
Though this fluid will flow faster,
and always with the knowledge
of its pension for disaster.

how do we manage
avoiding the carnage
repairing the damage?

RE: rumpled still skin?

The light will always find you,
though you're locked inside a vault,
though you struggle just to breathe,
though all life comes to a halt.

driving home

Tempest, riding low and dark
along the road ahead,
ripping, crashing, blowing,
a promise full of dread.

thunder is grumbling
off in the distance
life -- always threatening
worse is to come

rumpled still skin?

will i have to resort
to shutting the curtains
to shield eyes needing rest
from your brash display?

My son the tyrannosaurus

T rex could stalk to the window
and stare with his two fingered claws
at the flashing lighting
the beginning of his world

Do not buy your son a tyrannosaurus

beware the hungry dinosaur
avoid him as he turns to feast
and do not stare even in your dreams
when you hear the screams of the dire beast

breaking up the skies above
with cracks and bangs and spray,
exciting storm welcomed breaks

raucous crashing laughter
as its camera flashes lightning

hoping to meet a real dinosaur
after which we won't be hoping no more!
not likely to see them but don't take a chance
they'll have you for dinner right after the dance

RE: My son the tyrannosaurus

That dinosaur ran through my brain.
It's every step a thrill.
I saw my trusted doctor.
He said, "son, just take this pill."

Flash. One, two, three . . .
you are right on top of me!
Glorious display of lightning
I am too tired to watch!

variety monsters

My monsters live all too near,
emerging in the night.
They taunt me with past errors
until the morning light.

growing they come slashing down
winds rush in and leaves are flying

moist at first, then flowing.

Monster errors love to loom
inflicting fear with all their might
Time brought to play on such as they

vanity of the monsters

never a monster should dare to disturb you
who cares what my answer to him would be
but monsters are vain and pretend to be fierce
laugh in their faces, they'll scuttle away
