You Mean Dean?
I have always been hopeful that once a hurricane is truly
coming to our shores with destructive intent that the animals will tell me from
their behavior. I have spent so much time observing them when growing up that I
feel so intoned with them that they have been my barometers for many years.

First Hurricane Dean
It seemed
the depression was now a hurricane Rains and
winds merged into a swirling rage Shutters
erected to avert the impending damage They
closed businesses and went home early Hurried to
the stores in a frantic fury Umbrellas
swooped backwards in the up draft Rains
beating down with Mother Nature’s wrath Radio
announcers read their emergency notice Insurance
Companies too and even a hospice Calamity
was anticipated within 24 hours A hurricane
unlike Bajan’s previous horrors News again
came and flooded the radio station Experts’ messages
had more hopeful expectation Dean was
mean but he would pass bye Exuding
winds to our North at 100 miles high All this
time I noticed the birds didn’t care Nobody
told them Dean was out there |
