Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

An Angry Sky

Roaring in like a speeding train,
the twister left no time to flee.
And my house disintegrated
into pieces, all around me.

I'm catapulted from my bed,
while I'm tossed around like debris.
And in that whirlwind of darkness,
it was impossible to see.

The air was sucked out of my lungs,
and I passed out, thinking I'd die.
But I found myself on my back,
staring up at an angry sky.

'Twas a miracle I survived,
that tornado gave me a fright.
And I began to realize
just how lucky I was that night.

I got trapped under some rubble,
my legs pinned by a fallen tree.
But I could hear someone digging;
and thanked God, rescuers found me!

Not only tangible things that need to repair but also life's sorrow and heartaches, someone has to unravel and start picking up the pieces again. Excellent write, Emile. (^_^) Noel.

Paul Callus September 1, 2015 at 4:23 PM Emile...You aptly describe the sudden devastating that occurs when a tornado hits. Not all are lucky enough to come out of it alive! Nature often comes to remind us how feeble we humans really are! // paul Emile Pinet September 2, 2015 at 8:07 AM Thanks Paul, I appreciate your support. Emile.
