All Black and Smoky

Long-winged smoky wisps curling up Now drifting like wind driven clouds Then swirling like cobwebby curtains Screaming sirens outside the house Circling about darkening the hamlets Outside the room shrieking of sirens Windows seemed miles away As he came near the window All he could see was acrid smoke Devilish red flames burning his skin. Pitter patter of footsteps coming up Making his hairs stand up all around The knot of fear grew bigger & bigger The remains were all black and smoky. ++++++ ======================= Date 12-10-13 5th place win Dr. Ram Mehta Country Music Contest: Groove it by nette onclaud
