A Poem by Relic

With long jagged teeth 
Lightning conceals itself from prey
behind the cloud's brush,
waiting - to strike.

Amazing poetry... Relic. An Artist's vision of
a Lion cloud formation coming to life with the
force of a Lightening Strike with a Vengenance
so Powerful but appropriate for the Cause...

Lightening seems so frightening here. Lovely words used to create the right effect.

Glad you liked it, J. Thanks. :)
Nicely captured Relic. I picture wide eyed kids (of all ages), standing by the window as the storm gathers, making sure their path behind the sofa is pre-planned for when it strikes.
And when it does, the squeals and the dash begin 😀

haha, thanks for the review, Lorry.
A dynamic piece of brevity here with vivid visuals. Love the posted image. That lion is ready to strike without mercy and at speed. Good afternoon Tim from a wet and windy UK.

Ah, the speed and viciousness of nature, and often so beautifully deceiving. A work of art in four lines, Relic.
