[hometext] => We have had some bad storms pass through here, lastnight I heard something on the news that was heartbreaking...
[bodytext] => Night folded round, wind and rain glassy hazes, raging waves. Night when the babies should be in bed tucked in tight, teddy bears near, for the night. Swept away in the waves, lost in the dark lost in the rain, gone into the storm. They disappeared into the dark soon rain turned to tears cries screamed with the howling wind. Strangers to me, yet my heart ached, I stood at the window stared into the dark shed a tear with the pounding rain. As I listened to the reports as they searched for them lost in their watery grave. Winter has come, winter has come. I posted a bit of what happened below. It is so sad I cannot even imagine it. ALBANY, Oregon - Tragedy near Mega Foods store parking lot unfolded last night in Albany after heavy rains flooded the area and filled a creek and canal near Geary and Queen. The driver of the vehicle, 24-year-old Christopher Wilgus of Albany and his son, Maliki, 5, were able to escape from the car. A toddler, Aiden McLaughlin, 20 months, and Aiden's mother, 18-year-old Catherine McLaughlin of Albany were also in the vehicle as it went into the water. Wilgus had driven to the Mega Foods store, which ended with the death Catherine McLaughlin son after their car sank into Periwinkle Creek and was swept away into the canal and into a culvert. McLaughlin is missing but presumed drowned. Water from heavy rainfall flooded the Mega Foods parking lot at the intersection of Geary and Queen just after 8 p.m. and several cars began to float. Albany Fire Department representative Wanda Omdahl said one of the cars somehow floated into a canal that is next to the lot and was pulled under.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
