Always: 'trying to read the meaning of what flashed through' - how true for all of us - many thanks Paula.

Thanks Paula. It's a wonderful poem, so many terrific images--"a cuneiform of crow,' as the stylus of lightning draws it's jagged line.

We hsve the rain here today ~ but without the storm, thankfully, that this poem reveals, both obvious and inner...I can just see this little boy trying to understand. Also, 'a cuneiform of crow' - just wonderful, Paula!

Another winner here Paula, words so carefully chosen, we can see the devastation and hear the shriek.

What began as a "light-hearted" poem (at least, in my mind) became so much more. Very thought and spirit evoking words. The beauty of poetry--saying so much with so little. Excellent!

I love the survivor trailing a jacket through the mud. Makes me think of the many reverberations of a storm.
