... and now the storm is here and it's a big one ....

Poem Artwork

... Nothing on the forecast maps
predicted it, no one told us how
bad it was going to get.  Oh, 
there were hints that something
 
was on the horizon, they just
didn't know exactly ... what.  You
know how things change:  day
by day, hour by hour, minute by

minute.  Hell, even the stupid
models couldn't agree.  All they
could say was watch.  Signs are
there.  Be prepared, just in case

--- but we ignored them and now
the storm is here and it's a big
one doing F-5 damage to our
rights devastating our freedoms

mowing them down one by one
by one and Oh, God!! where can
we hide and what are we gonna
do what are we gonna do?!??

Fools.  You wanted change?  You
got it.  Should have heeded the
warnings.  Should have listened,
but oh, no.  It's too late for shelter!

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (12/5)

Karla, the weather has motivated you to write a metaphor about the political winds in America -- and F-5 may seem tame to the real potential for damage residing there now -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

Makes me nervous, Karla. Don't know how you weather storms like this. I like how this implies a spiritual journey. Hugs,

You make a formidable duo, Karla, because you don't flinch from pulling your punches and send them straight down the line. I admire that. But sod it... Copenhagen's the only thing I'm concerned about at the moment. We're at least lucky to have land to cling to and clean water to drink from where we're sitting, belching out all our waste and sending other nations to their doom... At least us lot are the lucky, living fools... and not dead ones at the moment... xxx

An insightful dedication to a great and fecund writer.
They're predicting the El Nino' effect is going to slam
us this winter down here in the southland.
Time will tell!

This could be the climatical change that was forecasted, and it's a doozy! God help us all is all I can say! Powerfully penned weather warnings that we all should have heeded long ago!

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

I hate to say "I told you so" but, I TOLD YOU SO !
And so we pay. :-(
Couldn't have said it any better than you did here, Karla.
The fallout from this mistake is going to be terrible to say the least.
And it's 'we the people' who will pay the highest price.
May God have mercy on America and on us all.

The country is in a death-spiral. There's no more productive economy to loot. Only thing left is to pick the pockets of the people left with any money. And this is exactly what they intend to do. It will become full-blown tyranny before long. Thank God! Because then and only then will the scales fall from our eyes. Then and only then will we be forced into the solution, instead of being part of the problem. And the problem is that good people do nothing. The only thing required for tyranny to take root. These are the worst of times, these are the best of times. Keep the faith.

Well this is a good way to make a strong political statement Karla and the only good thing about a storm is that sooner or later they always blow over and the calm returns lets hope this is the case with this as well.

Much of the weight of your poem rests on the last line "but oh, no. It's too late for shelter! Too heavy indeed. We should pay heed to weather warnings.
