Deb M Poet Rhyme

-GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT- POTD

A wild unpredictable stormy night
Harsh wind squeals through window panes
Random deafening claps of thunder
Lightning illuminates the night sky again

Disgruntled angry waves crash loudly
Heavy rain pounds on the roofs slate tiles
Mother nature is enraged tonight
Unrelenting , unforgiving , hostile

Inside the walls of the old stone cottage 
A sacred wood fire blazes bright
Radiating great warmth and infinite comfort
Providing sweet solace as Guardian of the night

Terry Flood June 20, 2025 at 11:36 AM Blimey, Deb. I turn my back for five minutes, and there you are with another POTD. Congrats on that. Has to be said, a blazing wood fire cheers the heart on a stormy night. I know… I used to fish all night… in mid-winter. Congrats again. I’d like to say I’ll be back soon, but circumstance and total brain fog may continue to block my path. :-( Deb M July 1, 2025 at 2:28 AM A fire makes such a wonderful positive difference on a stormy night for sure…thanks so much my funny friend! Debx
