“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”  Jesus–Matthew 6:26–6:28-29

NaPoWriMo–Day 27–Hay(na)ku

There is much controversy on the sky trails seen in my area. These are the white trails left from planes flying overhead.
Some say they are contrails (condensation) and some say they are chemtrails (chemicals).
Every day I see many of these trails–sometimes 3 or 4 at a time–it does cause one to wonder what they really are….

Train of Fire

forest fire, Haiku

According to Dictionary.com one definition of “train” is: the series of results or circumstances following or proceeding from an event, action, etc.; aftermath  In my Haiku “A Train of Fire” I seek to raise awareness of the yearly increase of damages to our forests in the Pacific Northwest because of Forest fires. Not only are many acres of trees damaged or lost, wildlife suffer loss of homes and people often do also.  Firefighters risk their lives and health while fighting these fires so often uncontainable because of the wind and dry conditions. As Smoky the Bear says “only you can prevent Forest fires”. Please consider and do your part to protect our natural resources.
