ANGELA HERE (9:30am Saturday - AMEN) Forest Fires are often a natural phenomena and provided there is no loss of Animal or Human Life (or property) its is cathartic for the Land and it all ends well ! However ther are additionl factors today (21st C !)
1. These FIRES are increasingly being caused (accidently or directly) by Human Activity these are the most destructive !
2. Mr Trumps Myth ~ GLOBAL WARMING is another anti-environmental cause of Forest Fires. The ground & trees are bone dry which can cause the Fires which are so intense the destroy lots of wild life and human habitations and sometimes PEOPLE ! You have aptly versed a very horrible & increasing phenomina ! We should be proud of all the School Kids who have been on the Streets today waking up us Oldies ! Because they will still be alive in 2090 and suffering for our inaction ! Thanks for shaing & caring !

Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

The ferocious and sad inevitability of spread of a relentless fire. There’s a metaphor in these poignant words ...

whether a natural disaster, or of mans making, such events are devastating to our world in general and particularly the habitats of all those with whom we share the planet.... I have seen several such fires close up... fearsome and fast they be..... Another perfectly penned composition my friend.....

I used to see the ccommon land on fire when i lived across the valley from Burleigh and Rodborough near Stroud. To watch from across the valley the advancing line of fire was astounding.

I never saw woodland fire first hand though.

Again you capture our natural world in your words. Hard to see the beauty of this aspect of earth, wind and fire when we know the death and destruction it leaves behind.

Yet still we build houses and communities in the prospective fire zone and bring in our loved ones and precious possessions. We must be mad/naive.

Beautiful write Fay, like Unsub and others I think that first line is wonderful. May your nights asleep be always thus, I m sure mine will be when I read this poem before bed tonight.

You do have a way with words, Fay. Beautiful opening and I also like that last line very much.

dusk arising said:

Yes, Unsub is spot-on about your first verse.... you show my inner thoughts when my head hits the pillow.

Still plagued with daytime slumbers from my drug regieme I\'m often more hopeful than successful at night though.

I\'m thinking these words must be similar to your own bedtime mantra, and a successful one too, for we, your readers, know you are fully awake each pre-dawn to poetically enchant us with your enquiring observations of natures day awakening.

ANGELA HERE (9pm Thursday !} GOOD MORNING FAY ~ thanks for sharing ! This is my interpretation ! I knew lots of NUNS I was raised as a Catholic ! In my mind they had a sweet & peaceful life. The Younger ones were very beautiful but had chosen to be perpetual Virgins & Brides of Christ ! I would love to be a NUN but only for a few weeks like Whoopie Goldberg in Sister Act to lick the Choir into Shape ! Love the Structure & Subject of your very elegant Poem ! Thnaks for checking WOODLAND SOUNDS !

Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Aloha Fay,
I love my sunrises here in Hawaii (the sunsets too!), but yours sounds so much nicer!
I won\'t be on MPS as much as I was in the past, but will try to drop in to read some more of your work.

Do you stroll the beach predawn, catching the moments words in your hair as the tide draws light from distant horizon. Then home to pen the words of glorious Sol\'s rebirth that the planet may continue to live.

Reading your flow places pictures in my mind with which to romance.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE (11pm Tuesday) - Thanks for sharing a sacred experience in a very sensitive way ! I have a sweet tooth so the metaphor rang a Sweet Shop Bell for me ! Being Spanish i guess my excursions into the *World of Sensual Pleasure* started in 2002 when I was 14 ! However being a Good Catholic I saw my Virginity as something sacred to be *preserved* for the Right Man @ the Right Time. Taste is an important sense in sexual awareness and you describe my fave flavours in that context ! Butterscotch - Caramel - Cherry Lips - Treacle & Chocolate ! All good metaphors for the BEST TASTES I experienced in my first encounters of the sensual kind. On average my BEAUS were two years older than ME ! Brian incidently is FIVE years older and mature enough to be MY HUSBAND next year ! I attended an All Girls Public School - so my first sensual encounters with *BOYS* were at at Church Socials Outings & Dances. My PAPA had the notion that if a BOY was a Catholic he would be *DECENT* my Mother knew better ! In my adolescent experiences my *Girl Friends* always scented & hugged better but I have never been BI ! Your final lines perfectly sum up adolecsent BOY / GIRL sensuous exchanges - innocent tastings and first love discreteness. In the 21st C the worldwide web has driven a steamroller through innocence and for MEN has turned to LUST and every page & position of the KARMA SUTRA. I am grateful I was just on the other side of that. Brian & I are now Teen group leaders in an Evangelical Church and it is a minefield ! I was fortunate to survive Medical School VIRGINUS INTACTUS - It took a lot of will power and some Men regarded me as FIGID - MOI FRIGID - ask BRIAN ! My whole concept of S*X changed completly when I met BRIAN - He is so so gentle and one of the few Men I have met - he is totally sensitive to My feelings and our Hearts reall do beat as one - but thats another SUBJECT at a much more mature level !

Blessings & Peace & Joy

Oh Fay, how you romance my first love uncertain fumblings. Would that i had had todays heart, knowledge and guiles for my young sweet lover that she may have felt some of your poetry within her amorous soul.

A lovely picture of romance, sadly lost apon the young fumblers of the day. But such an encouragement for an old buzzard like me to try and capture for \'next time\'.
