There may be more of Irma bothering someone, some place, but I'm done. Thanks for reading my experiment with real time poetry about a terrible and terrifying event.

The Last of Irma By Franklin Price 9/12/2017 – 7:48AM The last of Irma's passing by Her wind's outside our door Some rain is in accompaniment The two of them and nothing more There is no chance of tidal surge To make the waters rise Irma has no ocean near To bring flooding to our eyes Her wind and rain are minimal As she passes mountain peaks She visited Florida's Disney World Now Disney Land is what she seeks If you think my thoughts are foolish There's no way she'll get that far I don't think that you can count her out She's been a record making star Devastated many Islands Many States were damaged too If you're south and east of Kansas City She most likely came to you Be careful what you wish for Don't wish hurt on anyone You may get another Irma She was anything but fun Irma - The end for me
