James Fraser Poet Quatrain

The Battle Rages On

Hurricanes in the North Atlantic
Our backs up against her squalls
Time and time she impacts against us
Her rightful power thrall

We have flooding down under in Australia
Tsunami's from  a very recent past
Ice Caps melting in places of wonderment
Her patience now must be aghast

Snow storms in virginal havoc lay
Deep pile carpets she lays on her grounds
Tornado alley, goes beyond seasonal quest
The battle rages on

Carolyn Devonshire February 5, 2011 at 3:08 AM Man versus nature is the most interesting of battles, James. We have no control over the tornados, tsunamis or hurricanes. All we can do is struggle to survive them. Well said! Love, Carolyn

Tahera Mannan February 4, 2011 at 8:30 PM I so agree with you. This is nature's revenge. I like the way you have beautifully portrayed it.
