When we were first married, we lived in an older farmhouse in the countryside of Missouri. We heated with would. My first three boys were born there. The third one died. The cold wind blew through that house. We learned where to stand to avoid the wind. LOL Thank you for bringing back those memories with this poem. I can laugh, now, pretty sure I wasn't laughing then.

You just described my weekend. I went to a tree lighting on Saturday night. Cold and some wind made it quite chilly but thankfully they had firepits and I stayed right there. You set a real mood with this. Brrrr! Gretchen

There are many things in life, challenges, sadness, and so on, that want to put out our fire, our desire to achieve our goals. The question remains, would we let them?

Each of us who enjoys a fire in the fireplace can relate to this poem. The hot and cold continue clashing, and at times we stop chatting near the fireplace and simply watch the flames.

In two lines, Gypsy, you've created a very atmospheric scene because I can feel both the chill of the gusts and the warmth of the alliterative fire, creating an inviting sense of cosiness. That's clever! Take care Debbie

That is lovely, Gypsy. And I love the way you have personified the chilly gust. I have just posted chapter 7. I hope it's okay??? I enjoyed doing it, and if you think I've done it properly, I'll do more. Your presentations are always fabulous, I really enjoyed your poem and your pictures. Warmest hugs, Sandra xx

    It is dark a lot here. Instead of it being dark between 9-10pm, it is pitch dark at 6pm. Creepy. Karen

Thanks for starting the book, MariVal! I enjoyed the gusty wind "seeping through the cracks and wrestling with the feisty fire"! That's great use of personification!

    Thank you very much, big sister. It's been a long time since the last renga book I created and I forgot what a pain in the butt it is. LoL it's a lot of work to get it started but it will go get easier.

    I hope you add a chapter. We are up to a dozen since Saturday!

    Love

    Marival ❤️
