The Tornado

People, no power

So much chaos

All so fast

Wind so strong

Structures gone

Trees, poles, and trains

Yellow and orange

Orange and yellow

Warnings all around

Only so much you can do

When a mass of wind comes for you

Wind so strong

Two people are gone

While hiking in Northern Spain

Bad weather is an understatement

Freak would be the word

A first taste for some

A reality for others

Some cannot say

13 to be exact

This is not all that disrupts this land

Floods and snow have already begun

More bad weather than you can imagine

Help has been sent

But we don’t know when

This will be all over

The islands fear

That bad weather is near

And grateful we must be

Green Circle Spins

Round and round it goes When will it stop? The colour of grass and lime Make my skin as white as the snow That falls oh how heavily On the patchy gravel roads The money paid doesn’t getaway From the cracks and holes spotted daily Or the roadkill on the sidewalks As I walk down […]

Jitters

This is a piece about first days of school, but this piece could still apply in many other challenging scenarios.
