Vincent Van Ross Poet Free verse

Earthquake

EARTHQUAKE 

The earth shook violently…
Everyone rushed out of their homes
And took shelter in the open!

One man  
Kept sleeping 
And, snoring 
Amidst chaos
And, confusion 
Created by the earthquake

For him, 
It was like the ‘mother earth’
Rocking the son of her soil
In the cradle
And, singing lullaby to him!

Angie Millan-Acosta September 26, 2023 at 6:52 AM It reminds me of my husband during hurricane nights here in Florida, he sleeps all night and I can't sleep, thinking about all the bad things that can happen. Over the years I have improved, now I can sleep better during a hurricane. Great poem! Vincent Van Ross September 27, 2023 at 10:10 PM Many thanks for your compliment Angie. Also, I am glad to know that you are able to deal with natural disasters in a better way. Keep up your positivity. It helps!
