"Hurricane Haiku" (add yours!)
Weatherman in wind–
Slicked with horizontal rain...
Look, here comes a tree!

***

All eyes on all eyes,
The Pacific not at peace...
Nature does not care.

***

You heard them coming–
Charley, Frances and Ivan...
Uninvited guests.

Uninvited guests–
Shattering the plates and nerves
You heard them coming.

***

I know where they live–
Will this peril track towards them?
Prayers for my parents.

***

1. Here's mine:
Ponchartrain rising -
over the levees it comes.
Bye-bye, New Orleans.

6. A more positive N'Awlins spin
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 03:25 PM by KamaAina
New Orleans on edge
Will Ivan be the Big One?
Whew! Missed to the east.

Edit: Positive (a "postive" spin would be if I wrote a dozen of 'em :-) )

8. Another one
Green sky, stinging rain,
a daemon screams destruction,
his eye watches me.

11. Bushku
Bush loves hurricanes,
He broke the greenhouse treaty:
Leave no house behind.
