FLEEING IRMA

spotlight moon, full, like an Old Testament cloud, leading
Floridians forth, not into the desert, but away from the wrath
of Irma.  bumper to bumper, neighbors from pilot to caboose,
illuminated in each other’s flood beams. testiness and pride
put aside, as fleeing cars, in camaraderie, brave...

Hurricane Irma is barreling down with its monster storm, 
Churning 185 mile an hour winds that have eerily formed.
The U.S. is afraid what it will do when it makes landfall.
Unfortunately forecasters can’t make the exact call.

Floridians are buying generators and boarding up their homes…
There’s no...

I have great respect for you, and I have refused to take any of you for granted, even though I have never experienced your presence.  Even though we do not always understand, I know that everything that God has created has also been given...

Hurricane Irma and us
Do not fear my dearest one
I’ll hold you close despite the winds
That blow and rend with its deluge
Ogres captured Mother Nature
And held her hostage with their scheme
I bastioned you against our plight

An inundation with a flood
Large trees are ripped off from their...

warm tropic waters

ignite crazed wantonness in

a mistress that strays . . . 

pray you are not in the way

of this nasty home wrecker

While watching approaching hurricane Irma and staying put, couldn't hold myself from writing this.
Barricaded my place. Waiting. Will see...

So, I am challenging the nature.
My Soul is screaming - despite all.
If in the past some tried to bend me
They never broke me. I don't crawl.

I'm rebel...

I thought Irma was over
When she turned right at the coast
To cross the width of Florida
With an eye I thought was toast

She  made it although wounded
Winds out four hundred miles
She kicked the ass of Jacksonville
And...

Irma and Florida

 We're watching several channels
To determine what's for real
Reporters on the outside,
In the wind and rain's ideal

The place now is Miami
Presentation there's the best
Storm surge rising in the streets
Wind and rain are reaching crest

Palm trees show the...

IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SENAREO OF A PLAY, 
IRMA 'S WIND RUSHING MY WAY. 
ON EVACUATION ALARM I STAYED FOR NO REASON. 
NO WHERE TO GO, MY HOME IS HER SEASON. 
WITH NO WHERE TO RUN UNTIL SHE SUBSIDE, 
I AM THE JAILER LOCKED INSIDE....

There once was a gray-haired old lady.
Her name was Miss Irma McGrady.
As sweet as can be 
was little old she,
but at bingo she’d act rather shady....

Appreciation Amidst Irma©

After watching Irma terrorize Florida and the Caribbean
This is what appreciation looks like

I appreciate that 

I have hydro with which to make my morning coffee
That the roof is still on my home
The car I drive is on four wheels and not on its...
