And now for something completely different…….

You couldn’t make it up.

Most of the public, myself included, find this a charming idiosyncrasy.

This is what Glasgow City counsellors had time and money to discuss. Boggles the mind.

Dragon’s Breath

In dragon’s burning breath

There rages fire,

Bent on earth destruction

It does not tire, of

Burning up all sources

Known for fuel.

Emptiness and barrenness,

Such fool,

To leave a path of chaos

In its wake,

Heaving earth,

Obliterate

And shake

Foundations

To their very core.

Consumptive greed,

Nought for evermore.

With thanks to Mark’s Gallery for these pictures he posted, depicting bush fires currently rampant in Australia. He kindly obliged with photos of Fire after I had joked that I was going to write poems working my way through all the elements, having done some on Air and Water. These pictures, although of actual events, elicited in me an entirely different sort of response. My apologies if some of them are depressing! But some of them are loving and sensual. So a good balance I would say, eh?
