Naked Lightning



There's no such thing as a bad poem. Most poems written are light's dirty laundry. Your emotions taking off their clothes.
  And then, after 364.242199 poems hitting the floor, something Within you hits the high beams & writes Bright enough to run
Emily Dickinson off the Road!
   That's a Poet's & a Calendar's "New Year's Eve"
  I collect those.
Naked Lightning.

About this poem

She told me showing people her poems made her feel naked. She didn't want her emotions judged. Rated. It made her feel violated, somehow. I never thought of poetry as naked Lightning; but I can live with that.
