Hello Everyone!

April is home to National Poem Writing Month! Much like NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), NaPoWriMo encourages the writing of one poem a day, for a month! I’ll be doing my best to publish one poem a day this month as a part of the challenge.

In light of the recent events across the South and Midwest, I was inspired to write a piece on the power of Weather. Be Prepared, not Scared! Be mindful of your neighbors and community!

Appreciated, and times Abhorred

Beauteous Skies like Heavn’s Host

Squalls that fly, and Lightning Boasts

Towers of White, others of grey

Nature cares not what’s in her way

The Power of the rushing winds

Safety often, it rescinds

Shelter, cover, must you seek

Mother Nature is not meek

Darkened skies portent the worst

Heed all warnings at their first

As sirens wail, and from skies fall hail

The Human spirit must prevail

For natures fury spreads damage wide

But the human spirit will not die

For those we’ve lost we send our prayers

To whose homes were lost, send care

For there is no true nature immunity

We must rally together as one community
