Rain Tonight

The weather forecast for the evening of October 15, 1954 was simply “rain tonight.” In fact, the hurricane was a devastating one. The storm swept from North Carolina up into Canada. In Toronto, Ontario, the official death count was 81, but it was probably much higher because the many people living in the ravines were not part of the census. Penny Doucette was 8 years old on the night the storm raged in Toronto. She, her parents, and their elderly neighbor found themselves clinging to the roof of the house as they watched the house next door float away on the swollen Humber River. Augmenting the dramatic story are illustrations, archival photographs, and fascinating information about hurricanes: their causes, their history, and lore. Published for the fiftieth anniversary of Hurricane Hazel, this is a valuable resource for young readers.

What is poetry? Poetry is wish, it is prayer and it is life. This collection includes poems mainly on the salts of life and if there are some sugar coats that often vanish when the life becomes on And ultimately if it is possible why life is called life and if not why love is called love. In Your Town I was in your town Recklessly wandering Under the scheming shadows of palaces, Towers, house of moons, evenings of nights, Grasses, have you seen my footprints? May I be unseen from balconies? Behind of the windows, dozing doors, I have touched all the petals of gardens, Every corner of titanic roads, shadows cornering the heart of the city, Every glass of silent busses, sounds, All wandering telephone booths, May I be not heard In those countless webs of Satanic sounds in your town, moving, fuming in archaic symbols like delights, Hallo! Dear Silent Bird, Am I unseen In your nest?
