IRENE INDEED!

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

toppling forecasts
she came
wider and longer
certainly
but
far less damaging
than
her handlers claimed
fierce looking
she appeared
as many lives in her
path she changed
but for the majority
a sigh of restorative relief
they gave
when the winds died down
and her rains lethargically waned
she could have been
a lot bitchier
I read one blogger say
'Irene Indeed'
she cried a lot
but then merely limped away
one formerly mean ass dame.................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

fellow post poems poet Human Pulse sent me his poem about IRENE and as I read it. It made me think about the recent events that had just unfolded myself and this poem came to me. Thanks Fahad ! I loved your take on all the hoopla that surrounded the ole girl.
