Nice short works VAS.... while as you say this may not be your norm, you did quite well here... I particular enjoyed the last..tight images and clean lines... you should try more of these... the distilled essence of the moment or thought or the feel with plenty of room for more to be read into the verse than just the surface.. GOOD WORK!! |

JLR, I've had 4th's like that, too, in fact it's usually hot on both sides of the fourth and stormy and cold the night of the 4th. This year, it was hot all day, the wind did come up in the evening and God put out some fireworks of His own in the distance...over the mountains east of us. btw, the wind did not postpone our fireworks here this year. We arrived home from our picnic in the mountains sw of our town, crawled out of the van just in time to hear and see the finale of our local 4th display erupt and bloom before our eyes. thanks, very much, Cpat, for coming down to read and lifting me up with your encouraging words...pun intended I know it would be quite good of me to spend more time in SHORT musings, I guess it would leave more time for long living.
