Embers from the burning season Illuminate the night, Catching on the mesquites out back, Sparking off heat and light Before going out. They look like Meteors, falling stars, Coming nearer from distant lands, To land on house and car -- I shall not sleep. A long night with Hose and water may save My property, or maybe not. Time will tell. Must be brave As the falling stars fall faster Now. I pray the Lord my Soul to keep, as this would be a Terrible way to die.....
Fires! Never mess with those things. They always have a mind of their own...good heavens, I just looked down and noticed Regis has said more or less the same thing: they seem to have a live of their own. Great minds, eh? :)
Am I the only one who saw humor in this? To me this is black humor at its finest. I hope I didn't miss the mark.
You write such good stuff Karla. I wish I had more time to read.

The imagery is so rich and real here, Karla! I'm so relieved that it's only fiction. What more could a writer ask than to write something so powerful that a reader is left to wonder ... excellent poem, Karla!
Love and much respect,

This was no mere illusion. Colin Chase Rand, pulled through a magical portal, landed in 1935 where the dust bowl and the Great Depression was destroying lives, and a serial killer was in their midst
Action-packed adventure that will keep you turning the pages.
When an explosion on board Transcon's flight Three-Seven disables their flight control systems, it's up to a group of "Angels" to save the passengers and crew from crashing into
Then I thought...but somewhere, it's true for someone..
This would make a good Hallmark movie!

You have me praying for your safety. That's ok, I'll do it anyway.
My #4 daughter used to pray daily that God wouldn't let anyone have any fires, especially our family.
You take care, Karla, and keep that hose handy.
Love,
Connie
