Hurricane

Like a shark
Each hurricane
Zigszags toward
The Gulf coast jaws
A thousand miles across
A maw of wind and water to
Take a bite out of the coast
Somewhere with rain to
Flood winds to knock
Down power lines
So my candles
Flashlights
Canned
Food
All
Ready
And a bit
Extra just in
Case of company.
Hurricanes come and
Go but I kinda want to stay
Here in my lake condo
Safe above lake
Level with lots
Of books
Games
Tea.
