Ecstatic Poetry

 

 
 
 
Showy ballerina pink 
mandevilla belles
 
Gallant hibiscus wearing 
sunny sombreros 
With a drop of maroon 
in the center
 
Yellow sloppy painter Croton 
 
Cheer my Spirit 
.... and hopefully others 
in our neighborhood 
as we anxiously, numbly 
wait for yet another storm 
to roar past us
 
A zebra butterfly blithely alights 
on a purple Porter weed
 
Storm weary Florida
hurriedly hangs shutters, 
chops down branches 
clears yards 
hauls gallons of water 
and other supplies
 
When I pause to reflect...
all in all 
It's just another 
divine numinous day
In the Sunshine State

Thank you dear Ron
We are hunkered down on the East Coast of Florida, obeying all instruction from the officials. Holding on to the Divine One. Hopefully all will be well.
Thank you for caring,
Sonya Ki

In the old days, the butterflies knew it was coming before humans. But now we have ways of tracking that scare us, sometimes into model behavior like crowding the roadways until everyone is stuck and going nowhere with no water and no gasoline.

I hope you are prepared and staying safe. This is a killer storm for those that do not heed the warnings by officials.

Ron
