And there I sit, watching tv
Hurricanes are rolling in front of me
They speak of damage, rather bad
I hardly heard what was said
Because I see the land it hit
Remembering all the laughs and wit
Of all the friends I met overthere
Very good friends who love and care
How useless I'm feeling sitting here
When overthere is sorrow and fear
Fear of wind turned into a rage
Bursting out it's natural cage
Then they're reporting 'We're ok'
Brighter and brighter is getting my day
And when I'm writing this here rhyme
My email knocked and just in time
There's a message from Margie dear
'Safe and Sound, but Charley kicked some butts overhere'
I don't know wich way Charley went
How far it was raging over the land
I'm missing reports from Cape Cod and Philly
Hope you're not thinking I am silly
Nan, is the house I never saw still there?
Helen, I'm proud of you the way you care
Hope you got some sleep at last
In the quietness of the after blast
Don't care if my grammar isn't right
I just want to hug my friends real tight




Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Titia, I am so glad you wrote this nice poetry because I've been wondering about PIP friends I know live in the areas the hurricane struck.  This answers some of the concerns I've had.  Thanks.   ....jo

We're all fine, sweet Titia. God has a soft spot for poets, I think. Besides, we're used to a lot of wind. We have Toerag!!

Thank you for having us in your thoughts, sweet lady. Big knuffels to ya!
