Lightning

(Gibson)

It is a mercenary moving in for the kill,

it lights up the sky in hopes of catching it on fire,

shattering the sky sharply.

Crack!

It is a golden coin falling from the sky,

it acts like a cheetah speeding toward the ground,

then crashing into the ground sending shock waves in all directions creating the miracle of fire!

Lightning
by Matt Luft

Lightning comes in swooping down for his meal
He lights up the sky in a blaze of magnificent scenery,
Rambling Rumbling rising right out of the rambunctious sky

ZAP! BOOM! BANG! CRASH!

Lightning, a magnificent piercing ray of light that lurks in the sky,
Shot out of the sky like a death defying ray of light that pierced the moon,
An ordinary yellow flash of light, a moon's calm rigorous blast, a blood curdling sound,
that could blast a telephone pole into nothing at all.
