Sunlite Wanter Poet Rhyme

Florence

Florence

Monday skies are a dusty blue,
The sun is skipping on rooftops and grass,
Though in the quiet of this suburban room,
Awareness is of Florence and its push to pass.

Just beyond the dawn, a few hours drive,
People are crying and wet and broken,
We must pray and act for our neighbors,
No judgment ever spoken.

And in the days, weeks, and months ahead,
Give and give, for it is more blessed,
Then study Harvey, Rita, and Florence,
Global warming may be the essence.

Pandita Sietesantos September 28, 2018 at 12:40 PM I have survived hurricanes similar to Florence so I know the devastation they can cause! This is such an excellent piece that reminds us of all the people who need help after such a disaster hits! Well done, my friend! Great poem. Hugs. Pandita

Richard Lamoureux September 24, 2018 at 12:10 AM We are on the coast of Italy at Cinque Tera. It is beautiful here. I had no idea there was a storm in Florence. Sunlite Wanter September 24, 2018 at 9:18 AM Richard, the name of the hurricane was Florence, and it hit the east coast of the U.S. - not Florence, Italy. Or were you teasing?

Nette Onclaud September 19, 2018 at 3:38 PM sun, i can so resonate... we had a mega storm, magkhut, last saturday leaving about 100 dead... a meaningful read that sends a clear message about environmentalism... huggs Sunlite Wanter September 21, 2018 at 4:06 PM That's terrible, Nette. I heard nothing about it on the news. You are so right - I don't know what's happening.

Heidi Sands September 17, 2018 at 12:50 PM A well written, thoughtful, poem Sunlite. Thanks for sharing. Sunlite Wanter September 21, 2018 at 4:01 PM Thank you Heidi.

Chris Green September 17, 2018 at 12:13 PM Very sad indeed. My heart breaks for these people who are dealing with the aftermath of this devastating storm. Nicely expressed my friend Sunlite Wanter September 21, 2018 at 4:01 PM You feel paralyzed, Chris. Sending a dollar or two just doesn't feel enough.

Brandy Nicole September 17, 2018 at 10:49 AM It is very sad indeed, watching the weather destroy everything. God is in control. It is comforting, even in times such as these. I am keeping all those involved in these storms in my thoughts and prayers. ~ Brandy Sunlite Wanter September 21, 2018 at 4:00 PM Thank you for your thoughts, Brandy.
