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

    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
