Hurricane Irma and Us

Hurricane Irma and us Do not fear my dearest one I’ll hold you close despite the winds That blow and rend with its deluge Ogres captured Mother Nature And held her hostage with their scheme I bastioned you against our plight An inundation with a flood Large trees are ripped off from their roots The ogres blew the roofs off tops The window shutters shook aloud The winds have stilled and we are safe The hurricane has ceased to be A calmness greets us with it’s peace Your’e better now without the strife I must get back to see my wife Hurricane Contest Sponsored by Julie Rodeheaver September 10, 2017 *We have actually been ravaged by hurricane Irma and we were homebound for 30 hours wth minimal damage and I wrote two poems near a Coleman lamp. I used poetic license with the wife (ha ha)
