It came, looking for trouble- And found it!- ugly, drunken beast Mindset on wallowing Over swamps and rivers- Houses-other short rimmed vessels; Nothing could stop its intention, For all were too weak, When measured against its brute strength... Demanding that shores erase, River banks, and swamp-bounds- Earth defines, of ponds and lakes; Ordering them, become one sea Turning houses into shot glasses (Eve-troughs as ounce-lines) Overflowing, like what makes A drunk-drunk smile... Pouring watered down whiskey Over all with glee- Roaring out commands With intoxicated voice. * Morning after- skies clearing- Water retracing missteps- Rushing out windows Back into basins, the monster Has moved on to other places- Weaker now As are people left, living- Emerging, shaking fists Above sad glances, At the leavings of the beast. |

very apt decriptions of the power and the powerless beneath her and just sending good thoughts to all that had to endure this |

bad enough people had to endure such devestation, but then, the looters? They are beasts for certain... Ford, thank you for writing, and sharing. |

Ford, it has been a beast...and it has left its jaw-marks on the whole nation. The effects, I believe, are not nearly over. So many lives changed, forever....  ....jo |

~ Vividly descriptive writing of the she-beast and of the devastation that she caused. You wrote equally well of the aftermath.  Linda [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (09-01-2005 09:48 AM).] |

(big angel hugs) Oh Ford, this is a most poignant description of this natural disaster and all the emotions that have came and have been left with it, dearest friend! (wipes tear) God Bless You, dearest friend, may we continue to pray for the dearest families, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ford, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |
