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

- Comment from author about the poem: A VILLANELLE is a classical poetic form. 19 lines with a rhyme pattern A1bA2 abA1 abA2 abA1 abA2 abA1A2. Uppercase letter and number indicates the line is repeated - Lines A1 and A2 must also rhyme. Lower case indicates the line rhymes - OK. Check this pattern with my poem. A classical example is Dylan Thomas' DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT. It is a reflection on his Father. Try one for yourself ! BRIAN
