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

In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

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.

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