Thanks for reading and posting. There are some pretty cool poems in the Quatern practice thread that you might want to check out. I used iambic pentameter with an abab rhyme scheme which I had to alter to fit the moving refrain, though I think iambic tetrameter would serve a little better to reinforce the rhymes a little better. Dylan Thomas has that line about lightning and Emily Dickinson also wrote this famous poem:
"The Lightning is a yellow Fork
From Tables in the sky
By inadvertent fingers dropt
The awful Cutlery
Of mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The Apparatus of the Dark
To ignorance revealed."
If you'd like to meet her, she's always at the Barnes and Nobles sipping coffee with her peers. She's a very composed woman, she rarely moves...
