Well, bel, I did manage to do a poem for National Poetry Month and a post for the letter "J" today :) It may be a one timer for this month, but whew...I did it!!
Remember to visit my fellow poet, bel. She loves visitors too!!
Also, click on the A to Z challenge button on my sidebar to see all the "J" posts for today :)
Thanks for reading.

Jolt...
What word fell off the tongue
that made you stop
to look -
to open -
to let
the unrehearsed reveal
in a pause
between the busy and obvious
Did the other's slip
of the vulnerable
force your human to jolt...
What flame driven word
burnt through a mask
to pierce -
to birth -
to phoenix
a hand holding that heart
in a pause
between the morn and night

Thanks for a wonderful poem it was a good J word and a difficult one to write a poem about,
Yvonne.
Love that you combined poetry and A to Z challenge. Awesome.
Wowza! Your talents never cease to amaze. Loved the flow of the poem--good work, as always.
Very tender jolt !!
I did not know about the A to Z challenge. This looks like fun. I like your choice of j words. I would not have thought of jolt to write about but you did it well. I love, "That flame driven word, burnt through a mask". I want to do that with my words! :)
You are on fire with this a to z and the poetry! Well done!
how well u transformed J into a beauty! thanks for sharing :D
Love the last stanza. Transcendental.
Thanks for the visits and comments I do value them.
Yvonne.
My J is for Jolly as in Jolly good. You excelled yourself with this one, Kelly.
I admire poets. I'm not very good at it.

I like how you reference the phoenix, a symbol of rebirth.
Spectacular!
This gives me something to shoot for!
I loved it!!
You did two posts in one. You are GOOOD.
I love this, Kel, especially that last part. And the phoenix. I loved, loved, loved Jolt.
Nicely written, Kelly. You have a gift for the written word. :)
I think that last stanza reflects you - your words are powerful yet loving. It's a combination very few people get right. Beautiful Kelly!
Jolt is a great J word. Love it.
What depth in this poem. I had to read it a couple of times. You have such a way with words. Beautiful poet!!
I'm jolted by this poem
Awesome Kelly! You are crusing right along with with these! Your creative mind is inspiring. :)

Did the other's slip
of the vulnerable
force your human to jolt...
