Sandy Unprecedented Poem by Walterrean Salley
Sandy Unprecedented
The East Coast was in for a fight;
It'd be an unforgettable night.
A monstrous storm too much to bear,
Sandy rained-down terror and fear.
Twelve cities—far and wide.
Raging winds, nowhere to hide.
Nature's fury was unleashed—
Pounding ocean, land and beach.
The rivers their boundaries lept
As the monstrous storm swept—
By the power of its wrath—
Everything within its path.
Her aim, nothing could deter.
Structures fell down before her.
Rampant fires did wildly rage—
Bucking, as if from a cage.
Everywhere death and destruction
Obliterated fore-construction.
Over one hundred lives were lost—
Many paid the utmost cost.
To second-guess some did dare,
And were trumped by her stare.
But Sandy did not go away;
Clearly she had come to stay.
Her voice roared here and there.
Her presence was felt everywhere.
Sand was such a wicked queen—
The largest storm we'd ever seen.
Sandy, the largest hurricane in the history of the U.S., struck the East Coast unmercifully, causing massive destruction.
We got all the news about Hurricane Sandy here in the UK and saw the havoc that she wreaked. How dreadful an experience it must have been, lets hope she never returns. You have captured the ethos of it all wonderfully here - very well penned.
Sandy's fury is depicted here in all its intensity! Hearing about it from far and personally experiencing the trauma of it are totally different! Hope it or any similar one would never come to shatter lives any more! A great write! !
Couplet-form has always been used for a specific purpose, either for satire or for some serious theme, and here it is aptly used for the centralized personification of the horrid Sandy...really, a poet's eyes see deep always...a great descriptive poem...
