Nature's Fury,posted by ranu
Hurricane winds and snowstorm got together,
To teach us humans a thing or two about weather,
The skies in St. John’s turned amazingly white,
On a Friday when folks are not in a mood to fight
The snow came down fast recording 4cm an hour
The mighty hurricane exhibited its power
It blew away anything that came its way
It humbled the locals so much that day
They agreed to stay home and pray.
A state of emergency was declared
Some got their cameras to catch the horror
Houses broken to pieces, wind spreading terror
All I could do was repeat ninety-nine names of God,
Hoping we’d be forgiven and live to see,
Another fine day, the sun shining in glee.
Dear Ranu,
It’s nice to see a post from you :).
This well-written poem about the power of Mother Nature makes it clear that weather is powerful!
All good wishes,
robert
Dear Robert,
Thank you for your comment. I had a virus infection which kept me sick in bed for almost a week. I’m hopefully on the path of recovery. All the very best to you and your family. Happy New Year. 🙂
Hi Ranu. Take care, this weather you have described so vividly, must be difficult to live through. Good to see you writing 🙂
Dear Sonya,
Thank you, we are still digging out from this fierce storm. We hope with help we might be able to clear all this. Perhaps our leaders will realize that sixteen year old Greta’s message is not a joke. 🙂
Powerful, like the storm!
Dear Cindy,
Thank you so much. 🙂
I appreciate reading about how to try to live with and through bad weather. The details taught me much.
Thank you so much Clouch. We are still learning how to
deal with this kind of catastrophe. 🙂
Ranu Auntie, it is so good to hear from you. Your poem perfectly captured the energy of the storm.

Thank you, Shazia. 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing in your powerful words the first hand feelings of the residents of the dear city, St. John’s. The storm sounds so alarming even in description, I cannot imagine how it must have felt actually to those around. I am glad to know that you have been safe. May God have mercy on us all.
Thank you for your comment. 🙂
