Notes About The Poem

A summary of Irma from beginning to present. More to come.

Irma - a Review To Date

Irma – A Review to Date
By Franklin Price
9/9/2017

She started off of Africa
The place where she would form
The waters there compatible
For the Atlantic, more than warm

She would travel westward
Getting stronger as she went
God knew all about her 
From the devil she was sent
chorus
Th ocean fed the hurricane
Irma became her name
Winds went to 185
She no longer was a game

That wind speed set a record
The highest for the longest days
A score and fifteen days to last
A dangerous and crazy phase
chorus
The islands didn't slow her down
At least not from the first
She leveled there most everything
She was the very worst

Eventually she decreased speed
From a five down to a four
She's now down pounding Cuba
As she knocks on Florida's door
Chorus



Chorus
The weather men were quite confused
Did not know where she'd go
Maybe they should ask the Lord 
I'm sure that he would know
