Very fantastic poem especially these verses:
death riding the back
of a hurricane, with me
as its forecast track
Thanks for sharing this wonderful write.

I find all of nature's fury to be facinating, though also terribly frightening. Her strength is beyond belief and there is an amazing beauty in even the most devastating of storms. I have been in a Hurricane, two tornados, raging tropical storms and a few severe and too many to count moderate earthquakes. Each is an unbelievable experience. Aside from possessing the wisdom to fear them, I find their intensity and driven force to be awe inspiring. When nature shakes her fist at us, we would be wise to heed her warnings and get out of her way. Riding a storm out and believing you will be safe in a catagory 5 hurricaine when you live below sea level where it is hunkering down are definitely two different things. These (unfortunately) are not my photos, though I really do wish I had taken them. I received them in an e-mail and the photographer was not credited there so I am unaware of who it was that did take them.
Take care,
Sherry
Very impressive and powerful verses. It is human nature, I believe to think it's a passing rain cloud until it hits. I'll never forget driving through Oklahoma toward California, and seeing a twister through my rearview mirror. This picture reminds me of it. We stayed on the rod -- had no choice -- no place to hide, and then the twister decided it would hit somewhere else. Thank you for this poem. It brought to mind something I thought forgotten.
