November Rushes In November has come in with brusqueness as strong winds and rainstorms conspire. I tune my TV to hear what's to be. Their warnings and forecasts are dire. Our beautiful river, the Skagit is threatening to break from her cage. We who live near her and know when to fear her are praying she restrains her rage. The Snohomish, Skykomish and Skagit are writhing with ill-concealed wrath. We mostly adore them, know not to ignore them. Each will drown anything in its path. Last Friday the wind was so boisterous it took out my electric power. I awaited with hope for linemen to cope for hour after hour after hour. With no heat and no light I sought haven with my daughter a few miles away. I stayed for the night, until the first light and returned to my home the next day. And now the soothsayers are saying That the worst of the storm's yet to be. So I batten the hatches, find candles and matches and wait for the worst to find me.

Joyce~ Windy words you pen so excellent !! Lady ... it is a good wind that blows such a bevy of billowing words your way ... but, I wouldn't want to have it whipping so strongly~ You take care ..~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Wow, windy/stormy days there, hope this is not a sign of the winter weather to come in your area. Nice write…informative, telling the reader what is happening and your feeling about it. In stanzas 1 and 3 the last two lines are choppy … mayhaps for the third line of each a semi-colon or perhaps a dash? November has come in with brusqueness as strong winds and rainstorms conspire. I tune my TV to hear what's to be. Their warnings and forecasts are dire. The Snohomish, Skykomish and Skagit are writhing with ill-concealed wrath. We mostly adore them, know not to ignore them. Each will drown anything in its path. Ink runs from the corners of my mouth |

Dear Joyce: Please don't wait too long!! From what I am hearing on the news you might have to take refuge with your daughter at any time. Really serious flood conditions it sounds like. Take good care! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
