Due to Sandy we lost power for twelve days(not that I am complaining). This is the poetry I wrote after getting the lights back.

SANDY
Sandy knocked out my power
Now I'm left with just a glimmer of hope
Much like the thin soft light beaming
Out of the tiny bulb at the corner

Waters rise and walls fall
Babies cry and men scamper
Fires rage and trees uproot
But whose fault is it

We poke and plunder
We disrobe and dismantle
Take what we need
And take what we don't need

Water waves dance as ice disappear
Land goes down under
Making sharks merry
Octopus smirk with all eight tentacles

Mother nature's Tears stream down
She can't bear to see us turn thieves
She opens and closes tearful eyes
Creating water splash and air rumble
