You took bad events and used them to create powerful poetry. Your work sums everything up more effectively than any three or four paragraph description might have. Well done.
Stunned, indeed. And all too frequent. My daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren were in the Chapman, KS F4 tornado 4 years ago, and the damage was horrific. Watching Joplin and now Moore brings back so much grief. You captured the essence beautifully, Claudia.
Beautiful poem... caught up with the rest of your blog posts. Boy, you've been busy. You made me hungry for that taco! And I love the blue pickle dish. All your adventures sound fun. Hope all is well with you.
Yes, Bookie, stunned indeed. It wreaked terrible havoc, loss, tears, sorrow and unparalleled devastation.
ReplyDeleteSo, so sorry for all in Oklahoma. Susan

ReplyDeleteOh, and yes....I'm with Linda! That is beautifully written and should be entered somewhere!
