( MUST MAKE STORM IMAGE)
By Jaime Ruehle
Thundering through the night crashing
in my sleep. Ideas pour down like
raindrops but they never miss a
beat. The beauty of the brain
storm in dark and lightning,
rain. Ideas, pictures
dancing, storming up
my brain. Its three
o’clock already, and
my fourth time out
of bed. Because
this wondrous
storm is tearing
through my
head. Now
I’m dragging
to my feet,
and I barely
slept at
all.
Not for a moment did I ever think
that the thunder clouds would fall.
Bio: I am a full time student in pursuit of my DVM (doctor of veterinary medicine), and am at SCF to get my A.A. degree and prerequisites finished. I work part time at a vet office in Venice as a veterinary technician (similar to a nurse), and in my free time I study very hard in order to achieve scholastic success. This kind of a lifestyle takes a lot of determination, and I have even more than that. Poetry has been a big part of my life, and the main outlet for my emotions. I hope you enjoy my work.
