Houston

Houston I wonder if the summer rain was warm that poured like Pharaoh’s plagues upon the town as people waded from their homes in swarms and small craft was the mode to move around. Memories lost by tempest's hurt and harm float pass as muddy waters flood the ground. The summer rain may be a hurricane, a wicked, wind song made in sad refrain. 9/3/17

I thought it was good to use the form that you did. It made everything much more of a challenge. Thanks for the placement.

Great poem, Janis! Powerful biblical truths seen by a spiritual eye. Funny how karma works, ain't it. Texas politicians voted against giving disaster money to victims of hurricane Sandy in the east coast, and to victims of water poisoning in Flint, MI. You penned a poetic masterpiece of deep truth. LOVE this poem! Going in the fave file, pronto. Love and smiles always.
