LUKE VAN HORN AND THE QUEST FOR A FLAME: PART ONE

I find friction fire is frequently frustrating. 

Hand drill: difficult

Bow drill: slightly less grueling

Haikus: too easy

This week I desire to create a fire so my teeth and jaw I set,

I rub sticks together and it feels like forever, but smoke is all I get

The combo seems fine: cedar and pine, a fire I’ll make for sure

To and fro, the bow does go, but “SNAP!” the string’s no more

Well I want to cry, and “darn” says I, this bow drill is no joke

But someday soon, by the next full moon, a fire I’ll have to stoke

Yes someday soon, by the next full moon, a fire I’ll have to stoke
