after Katrina
bodies floated in the tide…
     rooftop watchers feared

storm surge broke the dam
New Orleans underwater…
     both lives and homes lost

city known for saints
by demonic sea consumed…
     more than a Cat Five

nature lashing out
protesting...

the worst hurricane
a category seven
annihilating

destroying places
breaking apart homes, shelters
taking away life

lord please take pity
for the land is gone and life
heal us once again

this storm has done it
brought with death and destruction
the worst hurricane

the hazy full moon lingers
to glimpse the rising sun
anxious on an island where time
is measured in hurricanes
and my voice is lost
a pebble in the languid ocean
Irma comes with certain fury
waves to capsize hotels
Monopoly gone awry
winds that punish
like the master’s whip
we wait for landfall
and my crashing...

Like riding on the handle bars of a bike
                        with no brakes, going down Telegraph hill

the f-scale is used to describethe damage of twisters ranging from lite to devastating
my f-scale is different, describing results ranging from lite to mesmerizing

most twisters jus cause pain and suffering
but my twister causes moaning and studdering

a twister brings rain and all wetness of the earth
but...

My Category Box

My category box is not opening up completely
And now never ever neatly or oh so sweetly
I have tried to around search and peck
Caused my mind to become a complete wreck.

Any suggestions out there from anyone?
Horrors!!! Was it something I have done?
Through my imperfection...

I will never categorise any of my poetry,
under the category of "funny," 
well, maybe this once only,
since the poem title is "Funny Category". 
To do so would feel way too presumptuous of me.
One person's disdain could very well be,
another's most hysterically funny....

To the staff of this soup of poetry:
Your mandatory categories are killing me.
I have a write on my PC that I wrote last week,
but I can't post it cause I don't know it's category.
If you could possibly create an "Other" category,
that would make life much...

Category Five

Tall aged oaks brace for the category five storm
Become gray with the surrounding landscape
Roots dig in a little deeper below cold soil
Heavy trees can't hold on forever
Ones by the river slip in to sleep
Agitated waters rise like a soul in turmoil
Clashing with the wind...

I've been told that some of my writes are very funny,
but I could never list any of them under the "Funny" category.
To do so I feel would be presumptuous of me.
It's up to the reader to decide what is or isn't funny....

There isn't a category I belong...
Do I want to?
 Does it matter where we all come from?
This world... who knew?

I do not think I am lost
No matter how much I'm to feel so
An every moment bringing a cause
That every moment... is the unfelt soul

Do I...

Writing a poem 
Is nice to do when you are alone 
Does it really need a category?
To send a message or story 
This is quite fun 
Does a contest really needed to be won 
Isn't a nice presentation 
That gets internet attention  
A priority...
