Storm cloud gathering
Rumbling portent of dark dawns
Snug fires flicker

Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

Great haiku Al and fantastic image , but somehow one of Donald Trump could have been an alternate?

I like the ‘snug fires’ at the end whilst the storm rages on.

I have to agree with Miss. Judy, I was connecting with those snug fires… Heck I love the entire piece. So, that book is getting close to completion? Just thought I’d inquire…

I’ll stay snug by the fire 🙂 (Unless it’s snowing)

Some days you just have to stand in the rain and let it wash over you… most days the pull of the fire is too grate (couldn’t resist that pun…sorry!)

I had to put the central heating on earlier just to dry clothes – me and my boys got absolutely soaked on the school run this evening!
