Good Morning Bill. I have so much respect for all of you who write in this format. Your execution is in true form as is the voice and tone. You deliver imagery of the moment in time. Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings and Peace to you and Sara. (smile)

Thank you for your kind comments, Lisa. I try to use a few different forms of poetry, but sonnets and rhyme are my favorite forms. I must admit, free verse is growing on me, it allows the thoughts to flow easier. Thanks for all your visits today. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I'm fond of senryu and haiku types. So enjoyed this one.

Are you sure that they didn't just roll a nickel down the street during the Great Depression?! lol.

Around here you can't depend on the sirens. They will go off when you don't need to run anywhere. They test them on Wednesday every other week or something like that unless it looks like there might be some bad weather then they only sound them if everyone needs to seek a safe place. They put one about 250 yards from my house and it is horrible. It is upsetting to me and the dog. Sara

That very close to a siren, Sara. We're pretty close to one where we live also. Thanks for the visits my friend. Hugs, Bill
