Hurricane Katrina… Hmm… I don’t really remember too much about it. I remember that it was a big deal. I remember that it was all over the news. Let’s see what else… hmm… I know that I am glad that I wasn’t there. I also know that had such damage that the affected area of New Orleans is still recovering from the damage. The damage that a storm caused. I always thought that part of natural disasters/ storms was interesting. That something that we can’t control can create so much damage. Take people from families. Take homes away. I find that with most natural disasters, in the pictures of the after math I feel like I either see a lost teddy bear of someone, or an American flag. A teddy bear that could have brought someone comfort in this hard time. That always makes me sad to think about. I think the American flag is interesting. That even though they are going through a hard time, people can still be patriotic. I thought that I would try a poem about it.

I don’t know, I don’t know why,

Why the storms have to come,

Why it has to be this way,

Why our homes had to be destroyed,

Why they had to lose a family member.

Why?

I don’t know why.

And I don’t think I want to know why.

I don’t even like to think about it.

I don’t like to think about what happens

I don’t like to think about why it happens.
