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

I liked the rhythm of the poem and the way it intertwines with the content. Beautiful!

No one gets a free pass in this world. Our task is to meet each triumph or disaster with as much humility or courage as we can muster and move on--a little wiser, a little more compassionate, a little more understanding, and a bit more forgiving. If there is anything more, I have missed the point.

Nature is fickle. Some call it Mother Nature but I look your way better: Man's ways.

While flame was destroying in our West, we were experiencing wind and flooding in our South and Southeast.

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.

Yes! So true!! While mankind is trying to make rules, Mother Nature gives a swipe of her mighty arm. It's like she's saying, "Take that!"!! 'Enjoyed so much!!

Love ya!

A disaster of flood and flame, beautifully described, but it sounds awful how "nature decides" one way or the other. John
