Ode to An Earthquake
Ode To An Earthquake (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
It’s ‘71. I awake
In LA to a 6.6 quake.
I feel nothing but terror
And curse out my error
In moving here. What a mistake!
Note: I graduated from Cal Arts in 1971. Great school, but I could definitely have done without that terrifying earthquake.

Well, I’m glad you survived!
I survived the same earthquake. My luck it was my second.
