... the dualities of being Stormphobic and a StormSpinner ... Picture:  reds, yellows, greens on the radar screen:  might be pretty, but tell that to those living under the swirling color, black:..... From, "Extreme Home (Re)MakeOvers" * The Bizzness of Storm IS my business: all I know.  My whole live revolves around them:  hunted/hunting. Pursued/pursuing:.... From, "Storm --- Chased!" * Used to the room going black, spinning, as if the storm reversed itself back into my bed.  Lightning flashes oneonethousandtwoonethou -- never reach three before the Howling screams me awake ... From, "The Howling" All (c) Karla Dorman * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Don't Have To Chase ... ... storms find me, following me into my own backyard, searching for the entryway to the cellar of my fear, hidden deep within.  Telling them to go away does no good:  they'll laugh in my face with moisture-laden breath and continue to beat at the door.  I stand on the other side, pushing against the forces wanting in.  They are stronger; feet slipping; can't hold on much longer.  Eyes snap open like shutters to greet the ... sun? (c) 2008, Karla Dorman * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * There are many I must thank here at AD for thir unending support, prayer and inspiration. I'd list you all, but then you would never get through reading my bio!   Besides:  give an aging Poet a break: the old memory's not as it used to be. My Trackers:  you are ever faithful in reading, reviewing, leaving your mark on my heart. I pray I never disappoint you. My family.  Always. Everyone at ST, LHW and HCW. ANYone who's ever read my words or stopped by my little corner of the Den: thank you.  God bless! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS: TO BE PUBLISHED. *COMPLETED* TO GO TO ALASKA.  OR AUSTRALIA. TO PAY ALL OF MY BILLS. TO TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY I'D LIKE TO BE TREATED. TO BE PUBLISHED (again and again and again and...LOL) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Thank you, one and all, for taking a moment to read these scribblings from the heart. Come again.  Door's always open.  :) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * GOD BLESS! SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!  THANK A VETERAN!
