A Frustration of Events

When power’s electric-might

fails there truly is

a taste of mystery in the darkness

 

as fiery eyes lurk

a wily gray

cat with lynx ancestry

hunts & haunts – mice beware

in the woodsy back yard.

 

Power’s still out not

enough flashlights

to share-

followed by tripping

banging into chairs & other

reality issues.

 

Electricity is a friend

always there

except when it isn’t-

come back on

Please.

Hope it's back on now. As you say, we so miss such when they aren't there. Rhiannon

Our power goes out three times a day for two hours at a time on average. We have a big problem with our state owned power company having gone to ruin. Sometimes it gets worse and it goes out for a day or more. It's A Major Disaster For Us Down Here. Good luck on your side!

We take so much for granted, and yet, the dark is always at our elbow when we can't find the switch or the torch. Nice one Richard.
