Deeper Shade Of Chicken

Hate this fear ...

Image (c) 2007, Karla Dorman


Poem Artwork

Moderate means likely.  A chance
of severe storms in the forecast
once again.  Not so much today,

but tomorrow through tomorrow
evening, late.  A repeat performance
of Monday's weather?  Let's pray not.

Know I'm supposed to trust in Him,
but when tornadoes are mentioned,
turn a deeper shade of chicken.

Maybe they'll come, maybe they won't,
and there's the rub:  uncertainty.
Wondering.  Keep us in your prayers ...

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (4/2)

Karla, if you had been were I was, that silly storm will have make you more angry than afraid, to have had the unheard unpolite manner of disturb your peace.
Take care and be well.

I distinctly remember having to force myself not to grab the kids and make them crawl under the bed with me. . .and that was just a garden variety thunderstorm. {Buk-WAW-buk-WAW-buk. . .} {How DO you transcribe the ruckus a chicken sets up??}. Can't say I have gotten much braver, but. . .SEIZE THE DAY, Shoog! M O M E N T. Close the curtains, turn on a buncha lights, an' go make a batch of fudge or draw me a 'pitcher'. . .anything but worry. In my experience, it is the things we DON'T worry about that. . .never mind. Can't cover all the bases, can we? Love you, Swee'thang !!! Too many hugs to
send over the 'net, Yell O. Bellee

there's the rub: uncertainty

Mother always seems to have a will of Her own, and changes Her mind quite frequently, and we just never know what She might do next. Stay Safe, StormSpinner.

Fear: so much in just one word. Tempestas is a storm in Latin and it comes from tempus, weather and time. Time passes and the weather keeps changing, nothing ever stays the same. Uncertainty also brings about the good changes! :-)

I pray this weather eases soon; but this is springtime in Texas. I don't like it any better than you do, but if it's God's will, He'll get us through it, together. He did Monday! :)

All we can do is pray and hope!

Excellent pen of your fears!

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

LOVE the title (but not the pic! Pic too scary)! CLEVER!

10/4 good buddy. Love the title in this one dear Karla. No one is immune from fear in this life. Trusting God no matter what you feel shows strong faith. Stand Strong!

What a great line: "a deeper shade of chicken..." I love it. I don't love that ominous cloud though..."better run, better take cover..."(Men at Work). Take special care. --Charlie

Just a few miles Northeast of you, and know of what you write. Yet...I take a different view of storms. Not completely at ease, but I still can find a beauty in the opening of the Heavens, and a sort of musical display. Nice and cool with overcast skies, now.
Peaceful, calming thoughts for you, Karla! And Karen...

I remember you mentioned a basement. Isn't there some nearby ditch that's deep enough and dry enough to hide in? You never know what'll come in handy.
