Slammed

Northern California Storms (A Poem)

A screenshot from a video I took

They say

When it rains

It pours

Here it’s flooding

Rain pouring down

From the skies

Heaven’s tears

Some say

But it seems

To be to

Much at once.

Dry land

Needs rain

But it comes

So hard so fast

Lives lost

Property

Mudslides

Power outages

So much

At once.

Our thirsty land

Needs the water

What hurts is seeing

All the damage done

The souls lost

Property,

Sometimes

Rain comes

At a cost.
