    Our Hurricane

     Our Hurricane

     

     

    This our first time

    sleeping late

    into the morning

    so you reduce your room

    to ruin

    tossing your blankets

    and pillows

    off your bed

    reeling around

    and around

    like a whirlwind

    rushing through

    you grow giddy

    by the moment

    shattering the silence

    with your laughter

    thundering throughout

    the peaceful house

    you wreak havoc

    on everything

    found in your path

    leaving the den

    in a state

    of devastation

    with all your toys

    scattered everywhere

    you storm

    into our bedroom

    dizzy with excitement

    whirling around and

    around us

    so we are forced

    to rush

    from our warm bed                                           

    out of fear for                                                  

    the safety of our home

    My sister has two huge dogs. One is a Bull Mastif, and the other is a Rottweiler. Sweetist dogs in the world, but, Oh, my word! When you take those two dogs and throw the three kids in the mix. You have a tornado!!! So, I know what you mean!! Very good poem, and very different!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
