Harvey Hits Houston Poem by Ima Ryma

Harvey Hits Houston



Harvey hurled Houston into hell.
The hurricane with rain did storm.
Over four feet of water fell
In just two days - hardly the norm.
And Houston was not built to be
Ready for such water to flow.
Millions of people felt Harvey.
No time, no place for all to go.
A Harvey, once upon a time,
Came only once five hundred years,
But now because of warming clime -
A Harvey repeat, Houston fears.

And so now what will Houston do
When soon returns a Harvey two?
