Sense Sonnet - Acher

No Name Hurricane

September 2nd, '35,
A no name hurricane did hit
Key West - the worst storm to arrive
Before or since as records sit.
Key West was being turned into
A rebuilt tourist attraction.
World War I vets were there to do
The labor that had to be done.
Not warned by the powers that be.
The worker vets - no time to go.
The hurricane's intensity
Gave the living a savage blow.

The hurricane blew vets away -
Hundreds were killed that Labor Day.
