Energy

A poem about finding your energy

Her head is covered,

with thin metal filaments,

that cast a white hot glow,

a halo of electrical sparks.

She shakes her head,

the filaments sway,

sending random fireworks

across the room.

She says she can think better this way,

with her thoughts bouncing from tip to tip,

leaving light tracers in the air.

It makes her feel

alive,

It makes her feel

brave,

It makes her feel

noble,

It makes her feel

free.

Don't get to close,

The Voltage will kill you.

Very creative Norma. Visually intriguing. I won’t get too close, otherwise it could become a shocker. I wonder where the inspiration came from for this piece? Much enjoyed.

Thanks Chris, it was inspired by a picture I saw of the profile of a woman with long stems covering her head with a puff of dandelion at the top.

Such an imaginative and readable poem. It provides such an image for the reader to conjour with and then the final lines climax with a thud!

Thank you John for reading my poem and your review!

Brilliant poem but its feasting but until read three times could seem a tad dangerous, Norma! :)
However, you have an amazing mind, your poems seemed to appear from somewhere out of space.

'She shakes her head, the filaments sway, sending random fireworks across the room.'

I closed eyelids, looked with hidden eye, managed to see what you had reproduced with incredible wording. Thank you - what a gift!

Thank you dear Emma! I guess it is a little dangerous when a woman feels her power.

There's nothing like it.. especially at the weekend - sez me, laughing!
