KATRINA

The devastating New Orleans hurricane of 2005 is here anthropomorphized into a feminist:

Katrina, feminist

Somewhere, somehow, you lost your eminence

Forsook the prom gown

Refused the hand of every stud in town

Went your own way

Took up Karate

Packed a lengthy piece

Charged the streets like a raving beast

Spread treacherous bays

Instead of good lays

Now the jazz horns for you will only boo

Now artists will smear messy pigments to paint you cruel

Katrina, feminist

Who lost the graceful pose

Who scorned the poet's rose

Somewhere, somehow, you lost your femininity

And caused this sea of suffering enmity....

Note: Feminism is a great philosophy but sometimes becomes extreme.
