Yearly Thoughts of a Christmas Fire

fire enjoys the Christmas smells
popping and kicking in a delighted way
mesmerized children come closer, loving her

she feels this admiration but once a year,
smacks her lips and a stream of sparks travel up the fireplace
it's magic! one of the little ones says;
she gets so excited, she feels like burning down the house.

Oh no! Let's not let her get THAT excited! I have been so saddened by those who lost everything in the tornado in Kentucky....and during the holiday season. That damned tornado will be the most memorable thing in their lives...if they survived! So tragic!

So many passed in that tornado! It was horrible to hear about! I wonder if some are still missing? And right before Christmas. How horrible.
