Not only that, but on Thursday night, there will be a lunar eclipse that will last longer than any eclipse in the last 600 years!!!!!!!! Over three freakin' hours! Can YOU last over three freakin' hours? Well, then, let's give the ole Granny Moon a big smooch for her show! Surely it's a sign. Is Trump going to be reinstated? *wink! wink!*

Nice haiku! There's not enough money to pay me to live on the left coast. If earthquakes, volcanoes, or mudslides don't get you, fires, floods or serial killers probably will! It's hard to express such frustration in so few syllables. Economy of words is a gift, and you have it!

Yeah! the left coast is an exciting ride!haha
Very nicely written, hope you don't mind me saying that the last line has 4 syllables though, I still love this. Awesome write.

Thanks Alex, for your nice words, including your constructive spotting. I added a syllable :)

I think climate change is on many minds at the moment, especially with COP26 taking place in the UK recently. We have had some really awful flooding of rivers in some areas, less so the fires because our climate is not hot. I have seen the devastation though in some parts of the world through news bulletins. The USA and Australia in particular. Yes that once in a lifetime is old hat now. Much more regular. Topical write Dylan. Happy Thursday.

This really resonated with me since I live here in California where these past few years we have been devastated by this powerful weather change. This speaks to these dark days of global warming.
