112. Why Are You Here?
by Susan Miller - Hollywood, Florida
Katrina or Rita - what’s in a name
Preparing for any is one and the same
Continuous storms threaten some Florida town
One may huff, one may puff, one may blow your house down
Trim a tree. Hang holly. Thanksgiving turkey
Halloween costumes and decorations you see
Everywhere, just look up your street
The ghosts and the goblins cannot compete
With Hurricane Wilma - now that’s what I fear
Enough is enough - we don’t want you here

this is the author. When I wrote this I was just po'd that there was another hurricane. it was just "cute", well Wilma was here this morning and she wasn't cute. There's devestation everywhere. we lost part of our roof, a window, screen room, and there's power lines and trees down everywhere. But we're alive, nothing major that we can't fix,
