Lightning Bolt Poem by Delilah Wilson

Lightning Bolt

Rating: 5.0


The lightning lights the lovely night sky
Why it happens I don't know why
The rain is drumming on my house
Thunder is like lightning's spouse

Lightning, thunder hear it roll
lights up skies so dark like coal
you can run but you can't hide
it doesn't help to stay inside

Striking, stunning keep on running
hurry up i think it's coming
The wind is blowing much harder
It's pusing the storm even farther

Rumble, boom, bam
no longer quiet like a lamb
you might lose your power
or get wet by the shower

The storm is near
increased fear
patiently waiting
debating

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Dear Delilah, You've asked for me to comment and I oblige. Poems are People whom feel and express. It can't be measured as poor or best with numbers from 1-10. Your life experience at 15 is a precious time to be writing poetry. I advise you and other youth to write just as you feel and not be guided by anyone's rating. (See my poem 'Critique and Prejudice') I was critiqued wrongly some 22 years ago when just starting to write. That poem was my response that was written quite recently. Especially for 'Budding' literary artists. Here's how I feel about your vividly 'Sketch' poem. It could be a Rhyme lyric with some chorus changes applied. I suggest you try not searching for word rhymes and write and tell it as you see and feel it. Your description may be all the better felt when letting it flow spontaneously. This same advice was given to me, as I now share with you and other fledgling writers, You will find that when writing prose that rhymes will just find them selves where they belong quite naturally. I love the way you wrote your last stanza 'The storm is near increased fear patiently waiting debating ' Now please sketch for us a sequel verbal image that we can experience with you Bravo! Encore! ...louie levy PS Be sure to date all your poems when written, for yourself and readers
