Out Of Control

no slow smoulder here

sparks near petrol fumes wreak hell

too hot to handle

As ever useful with your poetising and as astute a human as anyone can be, Chris! Laughed and ouched my throat again, but worth it. Enjoy your week, have fun amid the dull moments

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Em. Appreciate your visit. Have a great day.

I protect others
By wearing a Mask tightly
Although I can’t breathe

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat, ever thoughtful of others and how you can help them. I love your response.

An astute poetic observation.
Fiery outbursts quickly cause havoc.
Smoldering grants time to gain control--physically and emotionally.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Jimmy for your wise observation. Good to see you.

Ahhh, the paradox of passion... spontaneous combustion that can both stimulate or destroy if overplayed! Great little write my friend... :-)

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Phill. Great to see you. Hope all is well.

sounds like someone made an unauthorized entry into the cookie container

[Chris Shaw]

too right Dave, if all there's left is crumbs and empty packets when you want a biscuit with yer tea, it can on a bed day resort to this :)) Many thank yous.

Take care of yourself - Dave

[Chris Shaw]

Like your take on this one Dave. There's certainly plenty of situations at the moment where these words can be applied. Thank you for your visit and take good care of you.

Glad you liked it - I very seldom go to the Haiku, but you inspired me. Take care of yourself - Dave

[Chris Shaw]

They actually take quite a lot of thinking about. 17 syllables, 5/7/5 but you have to get the imagery in. I really appreciate that you decided to call in Dave. Try one yourself , who knows you might get to like them.

i can now apply this little gem, to the covid wreaking hell...small sparks that weren't put out immediately...

and now the chief firefighter is on his way to Bethesda...

no handling now.

[Chris Shaw]

Love your thoughts here Jacob. Yes the chief firefighter could be in big trouble. Should have worn appropriate gear whilst on the job.

I love your Haiku...could be relating to so many things...the fires out in California, the hot presidential DEBATE of this week, or just simply a fire at a gas station, or even on a stove...pots too hot to handle;
that's why Haiku is so great, few words, large meaning. Very nice Chris
Best, Betty

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Betty. So pleased you could read this on many levels. All the best.

Chris

[Betty Hermelee]

My pleasure!
