WATER, WIND, AND WOE

Ladies they were not, neither gentlemen either.

Their stay was brief but their sordid presence was felt.

Few were spared totally, most, however, were not.

We have come to expect them as of late, but hope not their presence be felt.

Has man through his ways on earth enabled their visits.

Leave it to man to find a way to destroy himself.

I say, man can achieve so much, why then can he not I question, make these seasonal visitors scarce.

Our lives change due to their visits, change in ways we do not like.

So, these unwelcome visitors must be deterred, I say man, you must, you must discourage their visits.

You were not welcome Lily, Katrina, Rita, Andrew, Gustav, and Ike.

You may have had your way with us but one day your followers will not.

Be Gone, Be Gone you woeful makers of lives.

Be Damn you.

Damn you.

through life's difficulties we are made stronger. through trials we learn our strengths. Mother Nature is simply returning a bit of the mess we've made all over Her!
