Ominous, 
a mere word, 
cost short of a grain

--------   ---------   ---------    ---------   ---------   -------- 
                
from The Sahara. 
As the grass turned pallid,

--------   ---------   ---------    ---------   ---------   -------- 

all the fronds of the palms, 
sickly hung--face vain,

--------   ---------   ---------    ---------   ---------   -------- 

scolds the grounds. 
First, votes NO--second, votes valid,

--------   ---------   ---------    ---------   ---------   -------- 

and the town will be policed, 
who will detain

--------   ---------   ---------    ---------   ---------   -------- 

them all as storm leaves. 
Sensed of a tossed salad

--------   ---------   ---------    ---------   ---------   -------- 

effects more updates, by a weather crew source.
Need searchers for missing--hurricane g-force.

--------   ---------   ---------    ---------   ---------   -------- 

*We seem to attract hurricanes, we just had a 4-nighter thunder storm. We've rainbows--sometimes several--looking for us on those joyful teary dripping days, but after days like these, nobody 'searches' for rainbows. We've had our first angel, near my alma mater town. Two brothers swept out to sea, the eldest swam back, his 14 year brother old was never found. Many prayers then and now as we brace ourselves for this El Nina year.
