Excellent When Helene came to Western North Carolina. Helene by Regina Elliott Free-style poem: human suffering writing prompt entry Artwork by MoonWillow at FanArtReview.com

Helene, you stormed through Appalachian way from the Gulf of Mexico. You brought a merciless wrath, a hurricane in the early autumnal mountains. Mudslides, flooding, high winds, driving rain, helpless people swept away. You had fierce scorn, you screamed and rattled our windows, a hellion of force. Over one hundred souls lost their lives, homes destroyed. Blue Ridge recovery, slow, but hopeful, weeping as the waters recede. The abiding Lord, His presence is here, as many of His churches are feeding the people. Under the October sun, we gather again. ~ Writing Prompt The topic for this contest is: Human suffering.
