"The Eye"
Oh well, it has started again
We should pack up our stuff and hurry away
A hurricane is coming
The neighbors start to yell
Is it another Katrina?
Or Irma or Harvey?
Or is it like Matthew or Michael?
Causing very little harm
It starts as a five,
Then a four than a three
Then hits the Atlantic
Roars back up to a five
And then at last we get hit
But as they predicted
It swiveled at the last moment
Back into the sea.
About this poem
This was about all of the hurricanes that had come to Florida.
