Storming Moments

Your name is Sandy The say you are so strong But no sweet like a candy Or deducing like a love song… Like your twin sister Irene, You are rapidly coming our way With a devastating strength And you send your ferocious wind To let us all know That you will be here soon! Mean girl, for you we are ready To fight you to the end! Trains and buses suspended, Schools and public places closed While streets are deserted Foods, water and medicine storage Waiting to be used In this approaching moment of truth! Mandatory evacuation enforced, Firefighters, police and ambulances Are ready for action when needed! Now, together we all pray That the Lord spares this great city From the grasp of this mean girl Named Sandy We ask the whole World to pray For the brothers and sisters In the other side of the globe! Amen! Romeo-Della Valle New York City

A pleasure to sit and read poetry this morning. We are getting snow from the Hurricane and the cold northern air coming down from Canada here is Piqua, Ohio this morning. I am glad your excellent poem was one that I came across to read. I hope you are having a good day and if you are in the mist of this weather that you are safe and remain safe Romeo. Love, Carol
