The Hurricane
by William Carlos Williams
The tree lay down
on the garage roof
and stretched, You
have your heaven,
it said, go to it.

This is actually Hurricane Linda. I love the colors in this NASA photo.
love this williams image, the tree stretched out. nicely scrounged pairing.
Nature never fails to inspire verse. I hope that you remain safe as this hurricane too shall pass.
thank you david and myra.
I love this little WCW poem, and I sure do hope Irene isn't too mean... thanks for calling me "keen" instead. Also, should you have any storm poems of your own, we are doing a special "storm" issue of Birmingham Arts Journal slated for April 2012 with a submission deadline of Dec. 31. I serve as poetry editor and would love to see your work! birminghamartsjournal dot com
Keep safe, Douglas!
Perfect! :-)
Hope you're safe!
