poetry would like to ask question about my poetry?

[Miss L]

a lightening bolt screams from the sky and crashes down on my desk.
i run to the kitchen
and grab my cat.
make a cup of coffee
and take a biscotti.
i open the door.
rain drops fall
gently kiss
my face and eyelashes
as i throw my head back
and get lost in the sky.
breathe in the day,
smell of rain
fills me whole,
as i let go
exhale the fight.

Harsh critics always want to classify poems into categories. What makes a poem? Things like rhythm, imagery, ideas. Art can be whatever one decides.

This poem is fine, the only thing I would probably change is linking entire thoughts into one line. For example you wrote in two separate lines.
i run to the kitchen
and grab my cat.
This would look and sound better as one line.
I run to the kitchen and grab my cat.
But I do think the meaning and thought in the poem.

[See how they run]

This is an interesting poem. I feel like you're going out to watch a thunderstorm. I've done that. I like thunderstorms even if they have lightening. It's beautiful to watch.

[???? plz help me]

I can't agree with Monk at all. It is the separation between the second and third lines that makes this poem work so well. The first two lines deal with something catastrophic. The third through fifth lines jump from catastrophe into absurdity. That's funny! The rest of the poem is one long sigh of relief from both the tensions cause by both drama and comedy. The whole thing recreates the way I feel when the alarm clock rings. This is good work!
