Not forgotten

"...formed in the Atlantic...reached hurricane strength...Katrina grew into a powerful giant..." (August 2005)






Katrina
a girl`s name
before
the House of Blues
now closed
mothers lull
babies to sleep
in no shelter

(Angelika Wienert; August 2005)

All the more powerful because it's so gentle and generous. Come to think of it, that reminds me of you, Angelika.

rain and sun
in New Orleans
the beat goes on

thank you, Bill!

"...goes on",
a hopeful third line


best wishes,
Angelika

Hi, Angelika,

A powerful storm and a powerful verse. It's been two years, already ... not in my mind:

the pelicans
in the air yesterday's blues
babe, Katrina

all the best,
Beate
