A flash and a cry,

Sharp in electrified air,

Blind for mere seconds.

Cowering bodies

Tremble beneath warm blankets,

Eyes turned to the sky.

Ink dark horizons

Lit up by celestial lamps,

Trees shown serrated.

Safe within our walls,

But still a mess of psyches,

Mumbling soft comforts.

Light flickers above

echoing brothers outside;

thunderballs in glass.

Author guidance for This poem

With the new movie coming out I thought this was an appropriate exercise:

Pick a James Bond movie title (a handy list can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond#Films)

Use it as the title and subject of your poem. Not the movie itself, just the title.The idea is to let the movie title take you places the movie never did.Movies done so far:

- The Spy Who Loved Me
- Moonraker
- Tomorrow Never Dies
- The World Is Not Enough
- Dr. No
- On Her Majesty's Secret Service
- Goldeneye
- Quantum Of Solace
- The Man With The Golden Gun
- You Only Live Twice
- For Your Eyes Only
- Die Another Day
- Diamonds Are Forever
- Octopussy
- Live And Let Die
- A View To A Kill
- The Living Daylights
- Goldfinger
- From Russia With Love
- Thunderball
- Licence To Kill
- Casino Royale

And that makes all of them... feel free to do alternative takes on any of them :)
