irony of fire
removes light from home or town
something once ablaze

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.

Dear friend, thank you. Things do burn down here. Too many old farm buildings, it seems. So far (knocking on wood), our building has been safe from fire. Not so much from falling trees.

Thank you, sister. We’ve been having storms so no worries from fire. Tornadoes, well, we’ve had a couple of those. Damage in the region, not too severe. I hope your weather is kind to you!

Oh dear. My little country has been battered by storm every year that it has become a common tragic annual event.

don’t think I didn’t notice the couplet in your response (“light up a place, . . . all without grace!)–see, you do that (and it’s great)
