The Wild and Unexpected

It's not that inspiration's lacking
But work commitments now get cracking
This autumn season has begun
With an Indian summer, bathed in sun!

Instead of winds, downpours and gales
Blue skies reflect the wispy trails
Of Magritte clouds that come and go
Shorts-clad commuters on metro!

Yet in Florida, beach fronts are cursed
As Hurricane Michael does its worst
Against God's wrath no warning bells
Stylish homes now empty shells...

Disaster strikes - torrential rain
Ten souls are lost: Majorca, Spain;
Natural phenomena headlines steal
The Grim Reaper stalks – for real!
