A Serious Tsunami

Astir the divining of earth.
The sea is alive and gives birth.The sand gives a sigh
And waves are so high.
     The beaches all filled up with dearth.

A freak — oh its mock and its girth.
The tsunami cursed all its worth.Some beachcombers die,
As rest of them cry.
     The island deprived of its mirth.

Tom Cunningham Date: 7/31/2019 2:42:00 AM I remember this well Kim, it was around Christmas time and every time I watched news reports the death toll kept climbing. They made a film about it too, so tragic . Love how you've captured it in limerick form, well written. Tom Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/31/2019 8:08:00 AM Thank you, Tom! Hugs...Kim

Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/30/2019 10:50:00 AM Thank you, Demetrios! I will never forget that news. The death toll was so high then climbed higher and higher. We must respect the sea and learn from the disaster. There are warning signs I never knew.
