All in a week,
This September
4 o clock , at day break
still dark,
Making the flames
Coming off the window glow bright
It huffed and it puffed
Tongues of flame
Happily dancing
while We helplessly watched
Dodging glass splinters flying down
Plumes of black smoke
Dressed the walls
Like the witch’s black gown.
Fire fighters waged war
Clogged lifts with soot and water
All in a week
Another day same time
The wind changed direction
It was rain water
Huffing and puffing
On closed glass kitchen window
Coming in
Flooding rooms in a high rise!
All seven floors in a row
Nature decides
How to sway
Always one up
Man’s ways
The news media gave little at to what was happening in the Asian subcontinent with one report having 240 killed in flooding across the area.
I hope you are safe and dry from the wildfires and flooding that accompanied the monsoon.
Ron
Love ya!
