Oh dear, I'm praying, and keeping everything crossed that can be crossed that you are going to stay safe. But I see you posted this on the 8th and it's the 11th now. I hope you are alright and your home. Everyone is losing so much! But stay safe, my friend. That owl knew what to do! Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

    Hello, Sandra, the fires are very close but we are still okay. We haven't gotten a warning to evacuate yet. We all have our things ready to go in case we have to go. It's a miracle the fires haven't reached us. Thank you for asking. I hope you are well.

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

    Gypsy hugs 😊

    I'm so happy to hear from you!! I've been watching the fires around your area, they are on the television all the time over here in the UK, so I can keep up with it. I do hope they can be put out soon. So pleased to know you are safe. Love and hugs, my friend. xxx

I've always though owls are really beautiful creatures and I love hearing their hoot of a night, I sometimes hear them where I live. An excellent piece, I enjoyed reading it.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with us. I am a fan of owls. I've probably told you this before. They are very interesting creatures. You and your family remain in my prayers.

And of course this relates to California and its horrifying inferno there at the moment. One can't help but think of all the wildlife caught up in this hell in which the fires spreads out of control as emergency services prioritise human life. Thank you for sharing this poignant Renga verse. Debbie

A powerful poem, Gypsy, and glad you're safe. Never seen anything close to this, looks like a nighmare. Those climate deniers are getting people killed and losing everything

Very realistic expression of what is happening in your State. The situation was almost surreal until I saw it on the news. You have my prayers, and I know that we all are hoping for the best for you and all those facing this situation.

I am praying. California gets the fires and Carolina gets the hurricanes. I pray that you and your family stay safe and some rain comes soon to quench the flames. Beautiful poem. Heartbreaking. Gretchen

Yes, I suppose that would actually add to the interesting facts or theories about owls, flying north when they would perhaps normally fly south, either way that would be clever, well done Gypsy, blessings Roy
