Click hereThe morning Katrina's big brother came
Twisting trees bowed under gray clouds
as if they wish to run or fly
Aqua bullets shot sideways, machine gun style
A door flew open while another took flight
as a window relieved it's pane
The dog house tumbled across a dark, drenched lawn
while the pup whimpered in the living room
wishing for a dead calm eye
The wind screamed a warriors song
Powerless, candles flickered
as natures unbridled fury pounded,
yard after yard, inch by inch, for miles and miles.
Rivers form, as leaves turned into boats,
sailing away with water bottle buoys
and debris submerged into submarines
thrashing in the air, tree limbs became kites
The proud sought shelter while the timid cried
it was every man for himself
when the landscape became one big brawl
as every tree in the forest began to fight
In the wake of hurricane Ike.
I am glad to be able to simply read about this, as opposed to living through it. This is amazingly descriptive. Very nicely done!
As you know, I left my home because I was scared...And now I am glad I did
I heard a little peripherally about this happening, paid little attention, and would have forgotten had I not read this poem which made vivid the conditions that prevail for a frail humanity "when the landscape became one big brawl."
