    Uno: I didn't win the contest, wasn't even close. I knew there were a couple better than mine. I have been down in Citrus County. Went to my grandson's high school graduation. Spent some good time with my granddaughter and great-grandson, Bentley. So very tired today. It's almost 11 a.m. and still in my bathrobe sipping coffee . . . returned home to an ant invasion in my kitchen . . . I never get bored because life just keeps on giving . . .God always bless you, Linda Dos

WOW! What a picture you paint! Plus, I hope the fear of fire I feel does not turn into a phobia about hell...
This piece was easy to read and easy to understand the point. Hell? Better make amends if you need to, to alleviate your phobia now and therefore lose your fear of hell...I like this poem very much! Thanks.

    tennesseerose: thanks for reading and commenting. I don't have that phobia any more but as a child, in the summertime, it was prevalent. livelylinda

This may well be the winner of this contest. As I read through the poem, I could feel the heat and the child's anxiety. The line "nightmares saw skin burn off" is especially powerful. I think this is a very strong entry.

Your words telling exactly what about fire you fear made this a very good submission. I am sure you live an extraordinarily good life to be sure the fires of hell don't await you.

Fear. A strong foe to contend with capturing and possessing us all but when you allow threats to become your blood you become poisoned A crippled friend I knew died in fire as others Fire is no joke, but our brother home -- the place hell is thrown is worst Thanks for sharing

    I thank you for reading. However, once we post poem/story, etc., the expectation is to receive a "review" of our writing which might help us improve. There is a section which defines reviews, what to comment on and how to rate them.

Excellent. This is well written and descriptive. This is a great entry for the "phobia" contest. I like the conclusion you make at the end but hope it isn't true.Great job

Nicely done...
A phobia that many of us have...
The story was well told and easily followed...
The ending is a phobia in itself... the fear of hell...
A good contender in the contest and best wishes.

You handled the prompt well. The artwork with your words are a good match.

I believe 1 space between the sections would be helpful. As I was reading, I thought why would you wake up to the noise of fire trucks then follow them to watch buildings burn. I know there is a semicolon between the lines. However, they still run together IMHO.

Good job and good luck in the contest.
