Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Today; I watched in horror, as my world fell apart\r\nToday; I witnessed the death, of both my father and my mother\r\nToday; I experienced the agony, of having my baby sister ripped from my arms\r\nToday; my entire family was washed away, along with everyone I have ever known or loved.\r\n\r\nToday; I died, as the entire world looked on in morbid fascination\r\nToday; the world and I learned how to spell the word Katrina\r\n\r\nKatrina; a solid wall of salty water (a massive tear) crashed down upon my world Katrina; will never equal the tears that have been shed, by all of us who have died or of those left behind (the living dead) to bury (us) their dead\r\n
