clouds seethe in slow burn
blue fire rips starred canopy
lightning tongue sears eyes
Neon signs flash warning signals
Don't go chasing thunderstorms

As soon as the sky lights up I’m inside seeking safety. No need to remind me not to chase storms!
Nice one!!

I actually just read a headline of a news anchor that was in the midst of Huricane Ian — and almost got blown away! The guy needed to heed your advice!!

Wonderful imagery and I love the last line. Some people are thunderstorms and I unfortunately chased far too many of them in my life.

Sangeetha, I like the comparison between the neon sign and lightning… warning signs are warning signs! The sky is telling us to take heed of its warning. ⚡️
