Notes About The Poem

AUGUST 29, 2016 7:39 AM

When Hurricane Katrina roared across the Gulf Coast and left ‘water everywhere’
 

Hurricane

Hazard tropical storm
Horrible spin chilling 
Howling turbulent winds
Heavy severe flooding
Havoc mass departure
Homes property destroyed
Homeless inhabitants

Congrats, Eve...you have described it well. I've lived through a few hurricanes but nothing as devastating as Katrina. The devastation was just heartbreaking...hugs, Rhonda

Eve, a great description of hurricanes using this restrictive form. It's been a few years since I've experienced one, but I've never been affected by one of Katrina's measure. Congrats on your win! Blessings, Kim

Your Hurricane is not one to bring havoc, Eve, but winning applause instead! You tackled a good theme with likewise good results. Full marks to you. Hugs // paul

Powerful Pleiades poem, Eve. The pictures, though visually stunning, don't do justice to the unfathomable damage of human lives. Very strong write. Love and hugs to you.

Oh it was so horrible. And yes, I see you used that word horrible. Great way to approach the contest! Eve, please tell me in a soupmail or in a comment (since I do not see replies), did you try to friend me at FB. I want to be sure someone is not using your name falsely as happened to me last week with Craig. And I thought you were already my friend there, but if you are not, I will try to find that friend request and reply to it.
