The air is close, sky an ashen
blanket, and lightning
bolts perform
sporadic jigging in the sky.

I love the imagery you have conveyed in this. To me, it's inspiring. Just beautiful. I love your work, I really do. What does scintillation mean, by the way?

Your words, JessicaA, are very enlightening. Thank you. Scintilla, noun, a spark or trace. I wished to identify my poem with a splash of attention. Do you think the title is a little heavy? Cheers, Richard

Hello jolono, thank you for your continued support. Today's weather was cold, and I wished to change the temperature through poetry. Chimo, Richard

Your most welcome, Richard. :P And no, no, I love the title. Inticing. ;P It fits, no need to change. Are you concerned because of the length of the word, in comparision to the length or meaning behind the poem itself...? Or does it have nothing to do with length and I'm just rambling nonsense!

You are very insightful, JessicaA. I did have concern the title, however appropriate and thankfully confirmed by yourself, would overcome the simplicity of the poem, which in my mind acts like a pebble on a pond, causing vibrations to ebb towards its outer reach. Richard
