Lightning Poetry

By Maxwell Baumbach

in my dream

lightning struck

outside the mouths

of ordinary beings

turning the words they spoke

into poetry

it would be

beautiful

if

we could do that

in reality

on our own

Maxwell Baumbach's poem Youth at its Finest (September 2010) is his most recent poem to appear at vox poetica.

This is the impulse all poets feel. To borrow from Mark Twain, we want to capture the lightning instead of the lightning bug. That said, lightning bugs can make for pretty poems as well. We live with a lot more lightning bugs than lightning.
