... the Howling screams me awake, ...

Poem Artwork


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,
neatly stopping the heart.
happens again and again,
these spasms of panic
throwing me onto the floor
safely out of harm's way:

try telling that to my fear.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (9/1)

A powerful offering my friend, kept me on the edge of my seat! Total opposite here, dry as toast! Nothing going on...I would rather not have storms...but a little rain would be a blessing! Hope all is well!
Blessings,

So you use that ole onethousandone onethousandtwo...must be a good rule of thumb. Otherwise ....
it would have vanished into oblivion,
Like, "If you do that, it will make you go blind."
Well, I do need reading glasses now....is there a correlation?

Spot on... I love the Texan weather, it is so untamed. Kinda like a place where we ain't supposed to live. but exciting all the same...

Gripping write that most of us have all known in our lifes at one time or another...the weather can be the fiercest monster at times and we humble humans profess to understand it...not.

Poeish and brilliant portrait of human mental fraility, Karla. Using the metaphor of a storm to correlate the fears inside is powerful . . . Very . . .

"The Howling" is so descriptive that it puts me right there in the room with you. Sounds like a frightening ordeal to go through.

Mahalo Karla,

You've meshed a small masterpiece of feeling and descriptive experience to tell the reader of impending doom.

We've skipped a heart beat, kept in suspense, and finally say with a sigh of relief: "She's Ok!"

Aloha,
Myles
