lightning bugs with neon balls

light up Snoqualmie Falls

till they look like electric walls

I'm on the sidelines in overalls

watchin' it all

as the weather squalls

until the alarm clock & morning calls

I remember
#beastly weather
on Trinity Bay

lookin' out
a big glass window

trailer trash they say

I've seen the wind blow

shelter plumb away

the only #chrysalism practical

was in music

it's so tactical

that in its absence

u can still use it

Conservative MP Kyle Seeback just posted a CBC article as authoritative evidence while his party campaigns to defund the CBC.

So which is it?

Is CBC “biased propaganda”… or credible journalism when it’s politically useful?

Funny how quickly trust returns when the headline helps. 🇨🇦

Maxie was being spiteful and vindictive. She is being mean considering how she chose Spinelli; years ago Lulu forgave her when she allowed Lulu to believe for nine months that Georgie was Lulu’s baby she was surrogating for her #GH

congratulations and good luck

glad to hear this. I had my kidney saved years ago after some unnoticed damage from a surgery. I hope they are able to do the same for your wife.

His mother, his sister and his grandmother were all in ballet; what does that say about him?

CBC Investigates identified Canadian Armed Forces members in leaked data from a white supremacist dating site.
Extremism inside institutions should concern every Canadian.
What more can we do as a society to confront racism and white supremacy before it spreads further?

What we know about the strike on a school in Iran as the death toll rises Iranian authorities said at least 168 people, many of them children, were killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab.

NBC was reporting three strikes.
And the base the school was on closed 15 years ago.
How could they not know that?

The second bomb was to kill the parents and rescuers.

Purple #lightning crackled and struck the sacred city of Rahlee, capital of Revastar B. Poydras's sensors picked it up 5 kilometers away. He added it to the list of things concerning him. Weather Control Stations don't just go haywire.

It meant there was no one in the holy city to stop it.

Thor
his fiery mean temper
stomping his feet
pounding his fists
bellows his powerful fearful
thunder
from the ether
and thrashing about
cracks his jagged, violent
voltaic, ionic, electric whip
the sharpest bolt of
#lightning
splitting heaven and earth
to remind us
who
is boss around here

Karen gasped, her body spasming as if struck by #lightning. Rob paused, concerned. “Are you okay?”

She looked up at him, awestruck. “I’m more than okay,” she said in a sultry voice as she pulled his naked body back down onto hers. “Do that again and I might need to marry you.”

You were not supposed
To strike me a second time
It hurts even more

Heres my #haiku

Better late than never

My 📸

Mimosa's gentle sway
Scent of fragility & strength
Nurture the fire within

Or

plus a bolt of lightning: time

You’re a little bit of #lightning
At the back of my mind
Giving my blood hiccups
Everytime I have a flashback

My heart jolted by little hammers
Pumps my inner red ink into words
Spilling onto pages & screens
The good bad sometimes funny
& sure as hell ugly too

Normal people die by #lightning. Maybe that's why they don't like the rain. But we're not normal. We dance in the storm. And when electricity runs its fingers through our hair, we don't die, we live.

Releasing the feelings
Tangled up in bursts of expectorated words
Bursts of passion explode from the soul
Momentary levity results… relief, freedom
Scabbing over a wound that keeps reopening
Expression is healthy and necessary
But true healing depends on the reception

Once the #swelling of the #bion #preparations reached a #certain #threshold, the #internal #cataract of #energy would #cause a #visible #lumination, a #blue #glimmering #discharge that #proved the #presence of a #specific #biological #radiation.
