September Tuesday

A Poem by eglantine

Today,

         I am radiating lightning.

My heart is a battery,
pumping high voltage

and my eyes spark white.

I am the electric glass
dragon and I breathe out
flames influenced by the moon;

fiber-optic speech
and when I smile,
you can see the air
around me crackle
and smoke.

That's so deep, the metaphor is very curious, very creative and, of course, very expressive,
I caught a positive feeling in these verses still the unusual metaphor makes me doubt about it or at least, to consider it from a different point of view
Great poem

You always bring the most unexpected images to the most commonplace situations. I love your style and each of your poems is really top-notch. My favorite is "I am the electric glass dragon." It loses a little of the flow in the last stanza. The line "fiber-optic speech" is awesome but spatially, it seems out of place. You might want to play around with the arrangement there. The way you space out your poems is really advanced - I'm sure that you can find a tiny change that will really make that part work even better for you. Great work again and happy writing!
