Everyday, I probably read a hundred blog posts. I really enjoy it. There are some amazing writers out there sharing fabulous content. They inspire me and often spark an idea for my next blog post. I know, I am really bad at commenting and I’m really sorry to all of you for that but I’m much more a social media gal so most times, I will comment on your post within the social media platform I found you.

You howled along the coast like an angry host
accosting a frightened town with a category four
more critical than ever before catastrophic floods rose
appose street rows and continued to rise
devastating priceless lives
transposing rivers on dry ground
drenching opposed citizens fleeing treasured abodes
lives shattered and unrecoverable but memorized
as they fled for higher ground
Your angry winds lashed Houston to a whipping post
wielding a woeful lesson in environmental education
taking lives presaging global warming unheeded
til the next time your winds call
with cataclysmic pleading
for a smaller carbon footprint
