Poem Artwork

Smoke on the horizon
can't be good.  The sun turns
to blood, the sky, dark  Flames
hunger for tinder-dry
grasses burnt by drought.  They

feed on the fear coming
closer with each gust of
wind.  Mile by mile, they get
nearer ... how soon before
we see their teeth, gnashing?

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (2/26)

Red skies from in the afternoon a beheaded sun, or by the fires bestowed upon the grass land by someone that will not stomp his cigarette.

It often does seem like the weather has a mind and a soul all it's own and no matter how we try to predict it, the time we least expect is when it usually chooses to attack

I agree with Eileen. Gnashing of teeth is a wonderful line and quite sensory, Karla. I love the poem and the picture. Please send your prayers down my way. I'm really struggling with a plate full, right now.

Thanks and Much Love,
Jill

It's too scary, too chilling to think about! I hope we never see those flames! Hope we get the relief that we need soon (without the svr)!! Very powerfully penned fear and uncertainty in this poem; brava!

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