An ode to the aftermath

Speaking of the aftermath, I found a poem that I think perfectly sums up the storm. Here’s your poem of the week:
Thief by Audrey B. Baird
LIke the Sandman,
Storm Man
slips through the night,
a bag of rain
on his shoulder.
Wind gusts
from his nostrils!
Lightning flashes
from his fingers!
Thunder crashes
when he opens his bag!
And, like a thief,
Storm Man steal slumber away.
——from Storm coming!

Poetry - magnetic and un

One of the staff members here has a magnetic poetry board. I’ve wasted a lot of time moving those little magnetic words around to create a work of art. 
Just recently I discovered an online magnetic poetry board. Since it IS National Poetry Month, I thought it would be the perfect time to share it with you!
It’s from ReadWriteThink and you can find it here: http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/word_mover/words.01.html. If you don’t find the words you need, you can make “magnet” with your own words.
Here’s the poem I wrote, all with the magnets they’ve provided:
a good banana runs
to his quite quiet night
tired, he drinks
the guava moon
Pretty bad, huh? 
I KNOW you can do better. Leave us a comment with YOUR magnetic poem.
