Notes About The Poem

Hurricane Matthew's Ominous Show

Hurricane Matthew is lurking like a message from the Devil.
It is sinister and daunting, putting millions in peril.
The forces of nature are giving us an ominous hello,
Putting on an enormous and frightening show.

This is a sobering reminder of our fragile mortality.
We pray that disaster won’t be a sad reality.
You have to respect the size of this monster storm.
Batten down the hatches, and watch it perform!

Me too Tim. I have friends and family in the storm's path. I am in southeast Georgia. Right now it looks like we will be on the fringes of it, depending on where it goes.
