The dangers of dry brush.

Warned about our domicile’s
Crowded brush covered
Hillside, we fell eight times
Climbing the steep Teflon coated
Slope cutting low branches
Looking quite pallid

On the second day
I used a shark’s tooth rake
To scrap dry hay
From nature’s steep cake.

We discovered left over cigarette butts
From our top-of-the hillside
Neighbor’s parties
A risky danger of being fried.

My Splendid Concubine

The carelessness of some has huge ramifications for all caught in the path - excellent write. We are worse than lightning in starting fires - (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
