Cloud to Ground

Cloud to Ground

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


Cloud to Ground

 

 

 

she is strong storms

and lightning reach

 

my heart is the tree

that wants to bend towards the bolt-age

of her intense voltage

 

and fall at her feet.

I'm not sure I like the idea of a woman wielding that much power over a man - you need to find a woman with much less voltage Jacob - one that doesn't leave burns ;)

Aah... Intensity. I wish it was a word most men could truly comprehend... Simple, powerful, and soul bearing. Great work..

Ah, to be thought of in this light -- electricity in the air -- love, excitement, danger -- as long as you don't get burned, it's all good.

Reread my Monthly Senryu when you feel like she is ;)

Exceptional teachers are exposed to this burn.
You can read people's hearts- so yours is going to be exposed.
Keep letting us hear your brilliance- we are learning so much on how to truly be poets.

Great metaphor. Even when we know the lightning might strike us down, we seem to be drawn to it. I liked it. Lydi**
