Challenge
Weather
Write about what you experienced or heard from people around you and how they experience the weather conditions and the recovery. Write as many as you remember. Word counts do not matter. The format does not matter.
If you are interested, then you check my art page for ideas about the tornadoes/recovery project “Destruction” that has been done at the university this year. You will be seeing the portfolio at a gallery space with the artist’s statement and sub-projects that make up the whole project with images. https://lindrawandfound.wixsite.com/lingling-s-projects/single-project
If you have questions about my art page or the prompt, message me through the email icon. I respond whenever I can.

Katrina, 2005
Grand ol' lady on the grand ol' river
Water to the north, water to the south
Water to the east, water to the west
Gossamer veils hold it away
Mother nature fires
We dodge the bullet
Only to drown
From failed man-made murals of hubris
Noah is long dead
Saviors are rare in rising waters
Rescue only by ebbing's recession
Back into the wetted word whence it came
The city awaits the emergence of Jonah
Who will come with clefs--
--Alto, treble, tenor, and base
Embouchure applied to his whale's spout
In a water world
Sweet strains are the driest things
With handles to grasp and fix fast
So the songs will continue, sung
