NaPoWriMo 4/10/09

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night...

bright lightning dances
bolt after bolt shimmying
from sky to ground
from cloud to cloud

ecstatic, wild freedom
thrilling and dangerous
like teenagers in love

making out on the couch
lights off, curtains open
surging with the storm

both inside and out

Very appropriate and fresh (double meaning:) metaphor.

I had never thought of a storm that way but it really fits.

Great job!
