hmmm interesting theories. like mother nature is disgusted with us, punishing us, or, bored even? i like how this poem has so many different meanings. congratulations on your win!

Thats about Haiti right? True disaster...but the relief effort is going slow and for some reason the U.S sent troops in I have no idea why....

A true stunner, Joyce...especially the first line! I think they are called 'natural' disasters for good reason.... I hope She continues to just 'sigh' occasionally and doesn't finally lose Her patience - Tim

Ah, yes--mother nature. You got that right. Great subject matter.
