Long Outages Poems

Ghostly spirits from deadly arsenal spell haunting annihilation

With mighty mouse and Hercules height 
tried to retrieve sanity spread loose;
a faded unpleasant memory - even enlisting
decades old cartoon characters: 
Natasha squirrel and Bullwinkle moose
flow of electrons...

Gratitude for running water on tap... 
and heat flowing with a snap

After shaving and showering,
yours truly feels winsome
though morose seeing
unwanted adipose "love handles"
inflating mine abdomen and tum
unanimously decided courtesy quorum
losing washboard stomach
finds me uncomfortably numb,
which...

You don't want to be caught in the cross hairs
Realize that at times life is not fair
After having minimal guidance
I stood in pure silence
With very little thoughts of violence
While I was trying to understand the...

It started with the freezing rain,
the curse of winter time,
turning all into slick black glass
on every road you find.

Then came on all the pelting sleet,
pins and needles outside,
you can hear it as it hits home,
adding...

A heat wave in Winter does not a smile make.
To be lulled into relaxation would be a mistake.
Don't pray for the rain if you fear the storms.
Gulf heat greets the cold, and the clouds form.

Stormy Weather

I never noticed until today	
That the wind blows south in east PA
The sun only shines between five and nine
And the rain comes in the summertime
Everyone here waits for the smell of roses
But hates the...

The winter of two ought fourteen
saw numbers plunge as ice storms rage,
and for the record, deep snowfalls.
Ma Nature showed her nasty side.

Capricious temperatures’ ebb tide
made life erratic:  broken bones,
pow’r outages and highways shut.

*Our strange day yesterday.

First it was widespread internet outage
No internet at some stores too, unable to get gas
Then, it was the cell phone, unable to make calls,
Then it was delayed texts, then unable to text
When...

Life returns to normal,
People head to work;
But below the surface,
Some surprises surely lurk:
  
Lots of detours on the roads,
Rivers scaling banks;
If your route is trouble-free,
You owe a debt of thanks.

Stranded passengers still wait,
Fighting or...

Melting into the skyline
prosperation to fill the salty seas
some are to frail to handle it
they fall down upon their knees
ten days and growing
100-117
global warming
it’s no longer an insane dream
ice caps fading
into the ocean as well
I...

Enough with the weather,
The snow and the ice.
The storms we have had
Really ought to suffice.

Enough with the potholes,
The plows and the salt.
Though we’re being punished,
It isn’t our fault.

Enough with the shovels,
The scrapers, the blowers
And gutters...

Blizzard disaster, 
Snowflakes meander
Area of occurrence: temperate and polar regions, high mountains
Season usually winter
Effect power outages, dangerous travel conditions

Nature Personified BLIZZARD
It begins with my eyes I see the gale winds blow
56 miles blowing whirling winds...

My hat's off to the Media,
they make sure we're up-to-date!
They keep us all, so well informed!
The job they do is great!

They know what's most important,
to that I will attest!
They're able to Prioritize
and report the News...
