Tropical Star Flowers




aloha poets,
                       Tropical star flowers inspire today. Enjoy!



Day76: Oily Gulf Stirs, Tar Balls Punch Lake Pontchartrain 


Tar Balls Reach Lake Ponchartrain


Tropical systems find marshes and beaches
Oil arrives, Lake Pontchartrain reaches
New Orleans shore next possible landfall?
Raft of recent storms, out-floating tar ball


Weekend on the fourth, fisherman's holiday
To Rigolets Marina samples from the bay
Weather permitting, cleanup crew cleans
Beyond St. Tammany then on to Orleans 


As the current spat of disgruntled goes
Diverse oil spreads by a spate of flows
Technical resources remove what they can
Are the natural ones no match for man?


Protected shore with barges and boom
Closed out fishing, oiled waterways loom
As storm systems go, still in flows the oil
Outward hopes to instill less turmoil
