Poet’s Showcase
March Madness (12 March 2006)
By Priscilla S. McKinney
A “microburst”
sudden
powerful
topples trees
power lines
strips roofs
crushes cars
flattens pines
splits sycamores
fells huge oaks
leaves one elm
where two stood
grand
equal
friends ponder
nature’s chaos
random
mysterious
clearing debris
as car radios
supply power
to hear the game …
a winner!
