Analysis of Storms Warned To Come
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Some prepare for storms warned to come.
From a doing to have had,
Previous experiences.
With a threatening done,
To a valued quality of life.
Wanting to wish not to lose this missed.
But, taunt and tease some do for the fun of it.
Some unaware yet prepare,
To participate in conflicts with consciousness.
From a doing to have had,
Previous experiences to end for them bad.
Although will continue they do to invite,
Threats to their quality of life then run to hide.
Declaring themselves the ones victimized!
