I decided to post this before I went to bed, because Hurricane Isaac is supposed to make landfall in about an hour and a half, and I have a feeling we'll lose power during the night. Actually I'm thinking Isaac us a bit doofus. Not my best poem, bit what the hell.
it's early morning
there's something in the air
a tenseness
wasn't there yesterday
wind is picking up
no blue between the clouds
gray overcast
turning to pitch black dark
when Isaac has it way with us
what a time for a hurricane
and what a place picked out to hit
seven years ago tomorrow
Isaac return's to the scene of Katrina's crime
Hurricane Katrina had its way with all over New Orleans
and surrounding states
August 29, 2005
Isaac is projected to wrap New Orleans
in its blanket of
black skies, fierce winds, rain, rain, rain
thunder and lighting tornadoes here and there
waiting for Isaac
to do what he has to do and go visit somebody else
got everything tied down
but there's always something that'll break loose
I sit here
waiting for Isaac
