I like rain, but not lightning. It still scares me especially when it crackles fiercely, though I wear my big mama panties, grit my teeth and pretend to my children that I ain’t scared. I prefer to be ensconced in my warm abode during such weather. Preferably, with a mug of warm cocoa or tea and some biscuits.
When possible, I always prefer to be ensconced in my warm abode during such weather. Preferably, with a mug of warm cocoa or tea and some biscuits.
Now Ronovan’s prompt makes me hungry and desirous of some gentle rainfall.
Huddling in bed under my cosy duvet
I enjoy a blissful read
forgetting the fierce lightning and heavy rain.

Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
Brand me whole as only you can
That the entire score of me
Knows nothing but the fullness of you.

I love watching a good show of lightning! It is so spectacular. I could do without the thunder, but it doesn’t bother me unless it’s right overhead and makes the windows rattle.

That’s the part that I don’t like. When it’s too close to home. From a distance, it’s all flashy and spectacular.

Speaking of blissful reads, I checked out your book on Amazon but unfortunately I don’t do electronic reading. Any plans for paper?

I do have plans to do paper in the nearest future. My only challenge is that being in Dubai and using Createspace is a bit tricky. I would like to see the print copy before it goes out, I learnt that they only service US/North America and UK. I am looking at the options. Thank you

Have you tried Lulu.com? Alternatively, do you still have someone close in the US? Someone trusted who might receive and drop ship for you?

I love lightning storms with lots of heavy rain––from the comfort and safety of my home of course. 😉 Great picture. Congratulations on your newly published book! I wish you lots of success.
