Got Power? Express Your Feelings Through Poetry

The Snowtober storm has brought a lot of frustration as people comb their local businesses for power, Wifi and relief.

Some have power, but many are still in the dark.

To help you get all that negative energy out, Amherst Patch wants to introduce the inaugural volume of Outage Outrage Poems.

Just type in your entry below, or email it directly to me at robert.michaelson @patch.com.

Who's Crying Now?

by Dan Tuohy

Feeling powerless?

Don't flip your lid 

When you're off the grid. 

No use crying over spoiled milk.   

Ode to #Snowtober

by Anonymous

Hello darkness my old friend,

How is it I'm powerless again?

Now I smell like an OWS protester.

Why didn't I buy that gen-er-ator?

#Snowtober is the cruelest month.  

Watts Up With No Power?

by Carol Robidoux

a lightbulb lit with energy

again.

Shine A Light

by Robert Michaelson

In place of candy

They got snow

Power could come in handy

but that just isn't so

Living without electricity

or internet

Can make on feel so

Alone

But the worst of it

Is that I am losing charge

On my

iPhone
