Kp Nunez Poet Haiku

Faces of Storm

TROPICAL STORM

midday darkness heavy
    rain pounds, winds howl---
           trees topple as huts crumble



EYE OF THE STORM

blacked-out night
     eerie silence for miles---
          dog whimpers and hide


STORM’S AFTERMATH

sun shines bright on
    full clotheslines for miles---
        sad smiles from grief-stricken faces



*To all those who prayed for my country, the Philippines, thank you. The typhoon changed course and only a small portion up north was affected.  It is unfortunate however, that 2 people died due to electrocution, an effect no doubt of the storm.

Sara Kendrick May 14, 2015 at 1:29 PM It is hard on the families of those who were killed in the storm..It must have been really hard on the family and friends of these two people..A shock even though one knows that storms can bring death..I feel for the people who lost homes and property as well..Great work telling about the storm..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

Andrea Dietrich May 13, 2015 at 9:38 PM sorry for what happened in your lovely country. they are getting so much lately by storms. Anyway, I enjoyed these. I think your last one was especially nice. That image of the full clothesline for miles.

David Meade May 11, 2015 at 10:28 PM I always hate to post after Justin . . . he is so elegant in his comments. I loved the poem and I am hearten to know you are well. Much love and light.

Justin Bordner May 11, 2015 at 8:55 PM I like how each verse duely encompasses the light, atmosphere and consequence of the storm's evolution Kim. This poem inspires us to endure with pride, and teaches that sometimes grief and good fortune share the same face. I admire your skill with strong, concise poetry. I think that you love storms Kim...J.A.B.

Lindsay Laurie May 11, 2015 at 6:23 PM G'day Kim... well portrayed in so few lines. These tropical storms must be frightening to be amongst, and then there is the heartache of destruction. Thank you Kim - Lindsay

Tim Ryerson May 11, 2015 at 10:42 AM "sad smiles from grief-stricken faces" WOW Kim... Compelling and mesmerizing portrayals of these devastating storms...I lived in Biloxi, MS and we got wiped out by Hurricane Fredrick in 1979...Now living in South Louisiana and have been through quite a few, including Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina so I identify well and Hurricane season is just around the corner here...

Nandita Das May 11, 2015 at 10:11 AM Beautiful. How well you portray the storm and its aftermath. Reminded me of Emerson's Snow storm. 7

Bongani Zungu May 11, 2015 at 9:53 AM It's very sad that we lose lives when ever natural disasters strike. I'm looking forward to a day when mother earth won't be so vicious. Lovely poem.......... Kim
