Written for:  The Twiglets #289 - lightning colors


Zig-zag from stark
white to streaks of
purple electric
splitting the sky.


Dog's eyes become
widened white orbs,
ears at attention
when lightning flashes 
and thunder booms.


her face gleams gold
as she stares up at the sky
colored by lightning


      He had an idea for their ceiling
    where old yellowed paint was peeling.
       Painted bolts of lightning
       his wife found frightening.
She painted white streak, bandaid for ceiling's healing.
