Katrina, One Year Later: Great White
by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner → (All Poetry by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner)

She prowls the open
waters of the Gulf,
waiting for just the
right opportunity
to strike.
Feeding frenzy!  The
waters run red as
they boil around her
mouth; teeth flashing,
she eats.
Entire neighborhoods
disappear into her
gullet in one hideous
gulp; with a swish of her tail,
she's gone...
those of us left behind
still bare the scars on
our legs and have nightmares
of the time we encountered the
Great White.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

An excellent implicit comparison. I have never heard a hurricane compared to a Great White Shark. very intriguing.

Well done dear Karla ...

There's a huge threat (Debbie is her name) making up off the coast of Africa today. She's already up to 40 mph before she gets to Bermuda in a week. This one will carry a punch unless we have a cool front with the isobars to tear her asunder. This is going to be serious for the estern coast I'm afraid.
Your poen tells the tale of Katrina and the bite she took out of the US.
Love,
Susan
