These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Amazing Line

March, march, march. Up the coast.
Blow, blow, blow. You'll be toast.
Wait, wait, wait. Needles, pins.
Brace, brace, brace. Big storm wins.

When, when, when will it come.
Hope, hope, hope. Peace the sum.
Gone, gone, gone. Passed us by.
Waste, waste, waste. Lives lost. Why?

Line, line, line. 'Twixt extremes.
Dry, dry, dry. Countless memes.
Rain, rain, rain. Flooding's sure.
Run, run, run. Space the cure.

See, see, see. Normal day.
None, none, none hurt this way.
Joy, joy, joy for this gift.
Help, help, help. Others lift.
