[hometext] => Envy not what other's got….
[bodytext] => We have few trees, just spindly palms Our greenery the heat embalms! And our water's running out; We're in the 5th year of a drought! The ocean's on one side you know; And 2 hours up you ski in snow! 1/2 hour South our tourists go; And cross the line to Mexico! Hollywood and Disneyland; The L.A. Walk of Fame is grand; Should you love to play with Legos You must visit San Diego! However, lest you envy us; And jump a westbound Greyhound bus; Let me share a couple facts; Like high-priced fuel and triple tax! Our hills are dry and beige my dear; And they catch fire most every year! Felling trees and vegetation; Victim to precipitation! Eventually the skies turn gray; And mudslides carry homes away! Early in the morning waking; To a bit of earthly shaking! Twisters start with clouds and storming; Hurricanes alarm when forming; You are safe when cellar-bound; Til it’s time to come to ground; But earthquakes start beneath our feet; And leave us nowhere to retreat! It perplexes me to say; We choose to live here anyway!! They say the “big one” soon is due; And we’ll do what we have to do; Except of course abandon ship! While our bridges sway and dip; We know that what is up, comes down! The proof is lying all around! And when it’s over we’ll get calls; from friends in Cyuahoga Falls; Who heard the news and want to know; When we’re selling; where we’ll go… I tell each one that we’re all right; Because we hung on really tight; And even though we lost L.A.; Most of San Diego stayed! All this rolling wayward motion; Moved us closer to the ocean! By Two Thousand Ninety-Three; We may own beachfront property! We’ll pay our dues though black and blue; For million dollar ocean views! And think you’re nuts that you remain With twisters, floods, and hurricanes!

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. ©
