Magpie Jam

My muse is still MIA (I think I might try to lure her out with some Ben & Jerry's later), but I decided to at least write something. The Poetry Jam prompt is Thunder & Lightening (thanks Butler & Bagman!), and the Magpie prompt is the picture below. I decided to combine those two incongruous prompts into one glorious sort of attempt.

See Spot Run

I wonder if it felt

like I had been

struck by lightening

that first time when

I knew that Dick was Dick

and Jane was Jane.

I devoured those

children and begged

for more please,

more.

Trixie and Pippi and Heidi,

Nancy and Encylopedia Brown

and that Old Black Witch.

And I was just gone.

Gone.

Burrowed into

the pages –

not resurfacing

until after the

storm had passed.
