The weather map
shows red,
a fiery circle
flaming toward the shore.
Humans huddle
inside
as burning tendrils
of wind
char doors and lives.

the weather maps
show a perfect circle
I am excited
the weather may-haps
has cottony clouds
I become thrilled
the weather per-haps
will spell disaster
I am per-plexed

may-hap
like its watery evil twin
inland dervish spins
wreaking havoc
stealing cattle
the ultimate rustler
Tornado Alley

thunder rumbles...
like gramp's deep chuckle
when I press my ear
against his bib-alls...
crescendos introduce
the wind section
followed by plinks and plashes
of sweet-smelling rain
forte to fortissimo
the torrent arrives
scrubbing the air...
revealing earthworms
fishing tomorrow
if gramp's knee don't ache...
diminuendo, retardando
summer storm symphony
like gramp's deep chuckle
when I press my ear
against his bib-alls...

Just one more...I love this topic
hot, wet, wild
this Chica
spins and sways
flipping her skirt
snapping her fingers
dancing over the Antilles
flirting with disaster
until, as women do,
she stops to rest
and falls asleep

no hurricane cometh
bertha stripped of her clouds
spins on empty
only a core remains
she is a hungry ghost
I am angry with the non storm
the fake Bermuda high
he turns with greed
stealing all Bertha's vapor
rendering rain to dust
we on earth
crane our necks
to the heavens
pearly pink moon
glistens
inky sky winks
moon beams
and firefly's
light the vapid night
bertha stripped of her clouds
spins on empty
only a core remains
she is a hungry ghost

and firefly's

O fickle Bertha
you left Antilles
with broken promises
a jilted lover
and flirt with Texas
in Dolly's mask
