From one extreme to the other ...

Poem Artwork

For now, skies crystal
clear clarity, blue
as far as eyes can see.
Who's to say what it
will be like later
when the wind kicks it
up another notch -
will smoke spice eyes with
tears and burn all we
own down to the ground?
The burning season
off to a roaring
start - after the wet
we had last year, the
pendulum swings back
to drought conditions ...

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (1/30)

Karla,
I definitely think the weather in the last few years has been a sign of things to come. I like how the imagery in this piece changes along the way. Great poem! Love and Hugs.

The weather has truly been ODD this year! However, let's hope PEOPLE take care with their campfires, cigarettes, etc. as, at least around Oregon, that's the cause of MOST of our fires.

BTW thanks :) ... Child finally has the art up :)!

Loved this,
Sandy

I hope that we have a bland weather season with a good mixture of heat and wet...it may be boring but sure a lot better for earth and mankind

We truly seem to be swinging back and forth most dreadfully on that world pendulum, these days. Feast or Famine, Flood or Drought, Extremely Hot or Extremely Cold. Either Mom Nature can't make up her mind, or she's trying very hard to swing us back into submission.

It's nuts out there, isn't it, Karla??? No wonder so many people here have been sick: warm one day, cold the next, hot the day after: from storms spitting out tornadoes or floods to blazing hot conditions with blinding sun, then snow or sleet! CRAZY!! As they say here in Texas, "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes--it'll change". Isn't that the spot-on truth, esepcially here!! GAD!! Very well penned, brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twinklies, Karen Lynn. :(
