Why Are You Here?

Collection

Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Katrina or Rita - what's in a name Preparing for any is one and the same Continuous storms threaten some Florida town One may huff, one may puff, one may blow your house down

Trim a tree. Hang holly. Thanksgiving turkey Halloween costumes and decorations you see

Everywhere, just look up your street The ghosts and the goblins cannot compete

With Hurricane Wilma - now that's what I fear Enough is enough - we don't want you here
