Wildfire

Thunder and lightning Without any rain Spells big trouble Here we go again Our spring flooding season Has barely came to an end Wildfire season is now here So hard to comprehend The firefighters scramble The helicopters are in flight All are working extremely hard To take on this difficult fight The inevitable knock on the door Given the evacuation alert Be prepared to leave The police men assert Anxiety and fear Harder to ignore Pack up the essentials Keep them by the door All the hardworking crews Are gaining the upper hand My evacuation notice is lifted Won’t have to leave my land My nightmare is over But the fight is far from done Firefighters will still be busy They’re in it for the long run ** I’ve been pretty busy, and unable to write for a while. There are 3 wildfires within 20 kilometres of my place here in the Okanagan Valley. I’m in a safe place, but if the wind picks up, things could drastically change. :(
