Write a poem "in which something big and something small come together."
Up in the sky there is a tall cloud
There is ice in the top;
it begins to fall down
Ice hits water
And electrons drop off
The cloud becomes negative.
On the ground,
Like a magnet, opposites attract
Positive charged particles accumulate under the cloud
Positive reaches for negative
They yearn to touch
Negative reaches down
Positive up
Til finally in a bright flash of light, they kiss and ignite!
I had to get a little help explaining how lightning works . . . Check out planet science and scijinks for a lot more details. I hope you enjoyed this poem. Science and writing are two of my passions so I really had fun writing this one.
Keep up the poem-ing,
Sharon
