Fire Hazard

The dangers of dry brush.

Warned about our domicile’s
Crowded brush covered
Hillside, we fell eight times
Climbing the steep Teflon coated
Slope cutting low branches
Looking quite pallid

On the second day
I used a shark’s tooth rake
To scrap dry hay
From nature’s steep cake.

We discovered left over cigarette butts
From our top-of-the hillside
Neighbor’s parties
A risky danger of being fried.

you should expand your rhyming to an entire poem. No? -gene.

Black Ash & Green (Sessions with my Therapist) by Pearl Barley C M Donaldson

She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
