Ode to An Earthquake
Friday, April 18th, 2008Ode 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.
