- Haiku X 161- Hurricane Dorian -

massive flooding
                                          tropical storm
                                            big tragedy

                                   - please leave your home


                                        destructive waves
                                            catastrophic
                                              pitilessly

                                      - please take shelter


                                         take no chances
                                        the huge monster
                                      kills man and mouse

                                        - don't be stupid ...

                                             ________
                                 
                               ( Don't play a hero, stay safe )
