Notes About The Poem

Mother Nature's Temper Tantrum

Hurricane Hermine is coming ashore this dark night,
Descending with wind and rain and a stormy appetite.
Nature is throwing a tantrum, and we will respect its wrath.
It may take no prisoners in its tempestuous path.

People are hurriedly preparing with water and food.
Some will have a hurricane party, daring the storm to intrude.
Most will say a prayer that the damage will be light.
Mother Nature will show her fury, with a view to excite!

A hurricane reminds us only God controls the weather,
And we are all put here on this Earth together.
So we will ride out the storm and say our prayers,
Leaving the weather to command for the Man upstairs.

I enjoyed this poem, Brenda. You always write pleasant poems. This one happens to have a great understanding about the fate of all those who live in the path of this storm.

Thanks Daniel. Hopefully it wont be too bad. I went through hurricane Sandy in NH. Didn't think I would see one here in Georgia.
