Katrina: Hurricane Monster Poem by elysabeth faslund

Katrina: Hurricane Monster

Rating: 5.0


I seethe in foam, tides...
Swept out, swept in...
In. To the shore.
Further into tides
Sweeping El Nino
Into rivers, streams,
Grasping, collecting...
Crabs and such...
Cities, towns, burgs.
Much mindless,
Screaming cries.
Madness, hallucinations.
With senuous talons
I come up, clawing
Wires, poles, houses
With hungry jaws open,
Dragging all in one
Clutch...
Down into insanity of
Water.
Laughing, as I roll my
Eye around...
Do it all again.

'With senuous talons' and 'With hungry jaws open' is so graphic. and the ending 'Do it all again.' is superb.
