... What is it they want? ....

Image (c) 2007, Karla Dorman


Poem Artwork

... get rid of one, here comes another
to take its place.  Lined up like dominoes,
waiting in the wings for their chance to appear
onstage.  What is it they want?  Front
page headlines in six point type?  Breaking
news coverage on all of the TV stations?   First
names so recognizable they don't need
last ones to know who they are?  Photogs
hovering, even satellites getting caught up in the
excitement, trying to catch a glimpse of
their eye?  Tropical systems must have one
hell of an agent, for all of the press they're getting.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (9/7)

The Weather Channel needs news to keep folks tuning in--but, damn! These tropical storms don't really have to be so helpful! ;)

What is it they want?

I think they are messengers from Mother Nature, horrifically reminding we human beings that we are definitely not in charge.

Cute about the agent. What do they want? I like that. Horror tale? I've really felt helpless as concerns all those who have been storm victims. Not a very nice feeling. Wish I could do something positive for them.

It could be worse; we could be living on Jupiter. Now those are some huge storms that last thousands of years. There is not a place on this Earth, that is immune from nature's endless quest to resurface this planet. ~ Sara

I wouldn't want THAT kind of notoriety: to run the risk of harming lives or damaging homes/property as I see fit! Excellent points in comparison to wanting to be famous (or infamous): as long as your name gets out there. Very well penned/illustrated; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :)
