We Interrupt this Blog....To Bring You a Little Haiku


Tornado shelter
the closet under the stairs
empty just in case

the sirens wailing
storm clouds swirling in the sky
baseball sized hail falls

grab shoes and pillows
flashlight and baby brother
come and sit with me

I will keep you safe
while your Dad watches the sky
'til it's calm again

Wow, scary. Hope the weather stays calm.

And it's only May 2. *sigh* We Oklahomans are in for a long season. (Gary England says to blame it on 'La Nina'.)

Love, Suzanne

Just across the state line in AR. Whatever you get, we get about 2 hours later.

We got no idea of that kind of weather, here in France! Never seen a hail of that size!
You're very talented writing Haiku! We can feel all the security and the protection of mom's arms. It sounds like a song for young children.
