Kim Rodrigues Poet Limerick

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.

Richard Lamoureux July 31, 2019 at 9:12 AM Well expressed. It must be a terrifying experience. Kim Rodrigues July 31, 2019 at 9:17 AM Some things we just don’t want to experience. Even peeking into the lens is sacred.

Tom Cunningham July 31, 2019 at 2:42 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 Kim Rodrigues July 31, 2019 at 8:08 AM Thank you, Tom! Hugs...Kim

Jeanne Mcgee July 30, 2019 at 11:19 AM What a horrible thing it was...but you got a good limerick to describe it. Kim Rodrigues July 30, 2019 at 11:20 AM Thank you, Jeanne!

Demetrios Trifiatis July 30, 2019 at 10:47 AM What a horrible footage! What brilliant Limerick Verses ! A fav, dearest Kim! Kim Rodrigues July 30, 2019 at 10:50 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.
