It’s quiet now,
after the tirade
of an afternoon
black cloud spitting fit.
I wonder if God was putting
lightning bolts together, using
an eight language instruction manual
with backordered parts?

About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

Good poem, Pat. Oh wait, are you going to make me call you Mr. Poet's Market from now on?:)
nice
are ya saying ya got some rain with thunderbommers :)
Wonderful poem Pat... as they all are!
Take care!
Hmmm...still pondering this one...
I was wondering if god has a back-up or not!!!...You say it so well Pat
Yes She was. Nice one.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing inclement weather Pat. But there is something about the quiet after the storm, isn't there? Thank you for this piece.
PS: I'm logging in to your Comments page as "Other", rather than "Karasu", due to technical difficulties with my new beta Blogger account. So my handsome viasage won't grace your hallowed Coments page. ;-)
don't get me started on those manulas :)
nice one
Mmmm I can smell the petrichor from here!
God: "Now where did I put my devine Allen wrench?"
if god has touse one of those manuals, then we're in trouble :)
love the poem!
and most like a good hunk of duct tape... it had to come from somewhere! delightful as usual!
Thank you!! Of course that makes you Madame Poet's Market!
Thank you Kai. Tell AA to quit picking on me.
Jel, that's exactly what I'm saying. Could've done it a lot simpler I know.
Margie, thank you for your continueing support!!
Vaughn, just another way of saying it stormed pretty good here.
Shyamalee, probably a legion or two of angels. Thank you sir!!
Don, thanks!! High heels and lightning bolts, that's an image!
Karasu, you're right! I love the quiet after the storm.
Floots, I'm convinced you have to flunk at least 3 IQ tests to put those things (manuals) together. Hope no one out there does this for a living. But, then I feel that way about most of the coporate world.
Osquer, I bet you can!! Good comment!!
Polona, then why else would he be throwing all those lightning bolts helter skelter everywhere. Looks like me everytime I put anything together, and I am made in His image... Thank you!!
Mikaelah, you had to introduce the fix-it of all fix-its. Lightning bolts with duct tape, I like that!!
you could have but it wouldn't been as good ,
I'm just a simple person! :)
This is quite an image... or set of them!
maybe the thunderclaps were exclamations of rage. I'm sure the term "This sucks" cries out in every language when those instruction booklets are being used
bravo!
Great...your thought has made me smile....thank you
He he this made me laugh
