Hurricane Ophelia: A Poem

Hurricane Ophelia: A Poem

Hamlet said, "Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia- Nymph..."
But Hurricane Ophelia of 2017 is neither fair nor a nymph
A hurricane hitting Ireland
and Britain with hurricane winds
Bringing with her the desert sands of Saharan Africa
Turning the sun red and the sky yellow
as if foreshadowing an apocalypse to come.
