Preparing for the Worst
The warning of a storm
this late spring evening
sets us to work securing
windows from rain
stashing tools in the shed
and ensuring all our devices
are fully charged because
should the power fail, I guess
we might not choose to pass
the night by candlelight
reading poems to each other.

Written late Friday night as lightening repeatedly struck near our home.
A smile at the end…it could be taken more than one way!
Ahhh…these devices! Hope power and devices failed and you got to: pass
the night by candlelight
reading poems to each other.
