December 18 - Hearth
Blushing stones warm homes
They also heat the poker
Is that ham cooking?
Long pork? 😏🖤
Full of warmth and heat
Or left cold, bare and empty
Is the hearth of love
Very poignant, well done 🖤
Embers dance and glow
Turn the spit as juices drip
And stomachs rumble
I’m a vegetarian, but you still made me hungry 😋
Driving the cold winter away, like in the really old days....
It’s too bad burning wood is so terrible for air quality...
Grandpa collapsed, died
Doctor said: “A hearth attack.”
Grandma used Yule log
😂 brutal granny!
I love the feel and imagery of the poem in this post. It makes me feel like I’m peeking into the window of a very old and very large legendary story.
Thank you!
Rain falls on the fire
that keeps Gloom at a distance
The flame sputters out
Very ominous, and in so many ways! Just cold and damp can be enough to do you in, but things are lurking also. 🖤
Thanks! That’s what I was going for.
It's worse in the summer than the winter. Last summer it seemed like most of Canada was on fire because of the way the forests lit up for various reasons.
I live in California, we basically have a burning season now, too. You’re fires were worse than ours last year, I think though.
