HURRICANE ALICE - A VILLANELLE

Hurricane Alice has blown away

Leaving destruction in her wake

But it\'s calm and quiet today !

 

Roofs blown off and trees asway

Gardens and footpaths all did quake

Hurricane Alice has blown away !

 

When hurricanes blow there\'s a price to pay

And such an awful mess they make

BUT - it\'s calm and quiet today !

 

No one was killed I\'m glad to say 

But cars were crushed and trees did break

Hurricane Alice has blown away !

 

Yesterday - my perfect garden went astray

Chairs and tables and pots did shake

BUT - It\'s calm and quiet today !

 

Hurricane Alice - she meant no malice - OK

Just a blowsy girl for Heaven\'s sake

Hurricane Alice has blown away

BUT - It\'s calm and quiet today 

 

Thanks for reading - BRIAN
