Hurricane Irma

rrodriguez

 

Water, water everywhere and not a drop more

That’s of course if Maria doesn’t decide to come anymore

 

There’s nothing to compare to the power of Irma

Oh, how destructive were those winds on terra firma

 

Sunrises on the ocean with the storm churning

Seems to show this hurricane's eye keeps on turning

 

Sunset finds her not abating, her strength grows and grows

Symmetrical circular expression that knows no repose

 

Night time on the ocean and Irma walks alone

On moonless skies she groans & she moans

 

Of course those lonely walks in the Caribbean Sea

People are really frightened and want her to flee

 

We’ll never forget the destruction she wrought Key West

And when her story is told, it’ll be unmourned, unblest

    Very good emotive write, I do hope Maria just moves out into the ocean and avoids landfall.
