I Don't Love Something That Can Kill Unexpectedly

Where does safety reign from this rancid storm
my heart is palpitating out of control for reason
friend announces I love storms send it my way
I can only respond honestly and wholeheartedly
I don't love something that can kill unexpectedly.

You know - I wish I'd read this when I was like 16 or so.  Might have saved me some serious heartache in life.  Probably not though - I seem to only be able to love just that - "things that can kill unexpectedly".
Challenge well met - and darn good "phraze" too.

Marge: LOL, whatever reason I am deathly afraid of lightening, it has to much strength for my liking.  

Michael: This was about a string of storms that came through overnight one after another while I talked with Doreen on the internet, she said, "I love storms send them my way" and my response was, "I dont love something that could kill me." She absolutely love the phrase also and told me I need to write a poem about that so I did.   Thanks for reading and enjoying.

I think storms are one of Gods greatest creations. So electrifyingly beautiful.

Hey, Gloria...you did it! Nice job!!

Mind if I use the same phrase and try to write something to meet my own challenge?

Let me know.... we writers are notorious crooks, huh? If a line ain't nailed down, we just might steal it... but I'd rather ask first... hehe
