The rain has stopped and all is calm, I listened and heard not a scratch; Still I started saying my psalms, In the hall someone struck a match. I sat straight up and sniffed aloud, This old place will burn up like thatch; I smelled cigarette smoke and cowed, In the hall someone struck a match. ©August 1, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

This one gave me the chills Jerry ~ Funny how our minds can play tricks on us and have our senses come alive! OR is it really just a mind trick or not??? Loved this! Alana |
