Hi Viv! Thank you for the humour:) I got my computer back yesterday, but then the monitor took one last breath and passed away...! Luckily it was no trouble getting a new one, and here I am, doing my best to go through all the back-dated mail. Regards, my friend. // paul

Perfect! Love this. Ha! I wrote one called "The Hunger" about Fire this past July. Not about these beautiful creatures in the fire but about all creatures consumed in our wildfires. Here there seems two tyrants! I love how you captured the genocide of the creature.

Paul Callus
Date: 11/12/2015 1:34:00 PM

Thank you for the lovely feedback, Edlynn; you read the poem well! Yes, I read about the 'hungry' fires you had in your area. We don't get such problems in Malta where we are lacking in forests. // Regards // paul
