A poem I wrote after seeing a picture of a marching band playing while lightning hit a tree next to the stands behind them. Constructive Criticism is welcomed and wanted.

Love Letters to the Dead
NaNoWriMo 2017 with @human_tomato because she's great "My latest idea was a thunderstorm, one with thunder so loud it seemed to split the world in half. It'd come on suddenly, during English or French, and we'd all jump underneath our desks. Outside, the lightning would be exploding and blinding the earth. One bolt would hit a tree outside, and send it careening towards me. I'd see it through the window and stand, welcoming the branches as they stabbed right through to my heart."Complete

I don't know, I just need to write stuff right now. When you thought you found the one, after all this time, after all the poeple that left, and it turns out, she loves someone else. For when the rain comes, and the hail, and all hell is unleashed, out of nowhere.Complete

Poetry Book 5
This is the fifth installment in the random poetry compilation. There is no rhyme or reason to the poetry; it all exists together. If you've been here a while, you'll know that after 100 poems, there will be another book. I normally rant about my covers, and the stories behind them, but this one isn't that fancy: I was with my mother because we needed to make a quick drive to Hixon BC from my parents' house, which is ten minutes away. The sky was storming, and I thought it made the trees look menacing. So, I took this photo, somewhere between Crysdale and Hixon. STARTED: Jul.20.22 FINISHED: Jan.13.24Complete
