Mother Nature is no stranger
To changing seasons
That’s the danger.
When you live in the place I do
Mother Nature confuses
Setting out to punish you.
The summer came with lightning storms and furry
And brought with it
Thrashing hail and freezing nights of flurries
To keep from getting flashed, frozen, and beat
Inside we’d take cover and we’d sleep
Till the power went out from too much heat
As fall arrives, Tornado towers
Like a tantrum’d child Godzilla-ing
Crushing all buildings and flowers
And snow will fall in heaps in time
People stuck and cities dark.
A world frozen in mime
As winter comes and summer passes
Mother nature, please
Contain your wetness, projectiles, and gasses.
Sincerely,
The recipient
