I do not enjoy
Seeing your house without light
The fire takes too much
after friends’ house fire (haiku)

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.

What a gift fire is, and yet how terrible.. Your lines are precise, and powerful!

Thanks, Dajena! You’re right about fire. It is a gift–it’s necessary. Yet it’s terrible in destruction as well.

oh geeeez! so short yet so packed. indeed fire can eat too much!

It can. I mean, we need fire. But when it gets out of hand, good things are lost.
