Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

I Am a Storm

I always wonder in a philosophical way
Who I am? Does God have my dossier?

I exist, of this I am sure
The IRS calls yearly asking for more

I dreamed of being Poet and King
Seems one has to be Royal to wear that ring

The purpose of life, well seems so unsure
A night out with me though, is never a bore

I have painted towns red, as I drowned in last calls
I always had company, cute lasses and dolls

Life is full of twists and turns
There is no map as we are led to the urn

I was quite surprised, at this time in my life
To find out my fate is to bring you all strife

So batten the windows
And board up your doors

For I am full of wind and hot air
I shall come from the sea and I am on a tear

I am Arthur, no poet or King
I am the Hurricane, and its hell that I bring

July 4. 2014, Arthur became a Category 2 hurricane Thursday evening. The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicted it would swipe the coast early Friday with winds of up to 136 km/h.
