[This is my shot of sunrise over Tofino inlet.
I used to live right across the street.Sigh.]
At Real Toads, Izy has posted a challenge for Out of Standard, entitled Embrace Your Doomsday, asking us to write about doomsday with a happy ending. I love this topic!!!
Wild Woman is rather myopic.
She sees forms, not faces.
Things at a distance
are a lovely blur.
So, sitting on her porch swing,
gazing bemusedly into the middle distance,
she is delighted
when the earth heaves,
(it's been such a long time!)
(it's been such a long time!)
the heavens part,
and everything turns
the most lovely shade
of fire and brimstone.
She sits up, with great interest,
and hollers:
"Kids! Come quick!
You'll never believe
the most gorgeous sunset!"
