Tirzah Conway Poet Couplet

Flash Flood...

Monsoon season hit last night,
It flooded everything in sight;

It ripped down fences and uprooted trees,
Rolling two ton boulders with sickening ease;

Carrying it all on a crest of death,
We can feel the roar and hold our breath;

The ground is rumbling beneath our feet,
We bow our heads and admit defeat;

The noise deafening, we cover our ears,
It’s bringing about our terror and fears;

We stop and watch the destruction flow by,
And send a silent prayer up to the sky.

Andrea Dietrich August 1, 2010 at 7:31 PM Tirzah, I just read one called STeven.It was wonderful. but guess what? I am not able to comment to it there. if you are not getting comments it is probably becuase others can't see a place to comment either. I tried the next poem up.SAME thing. So I came back down here and was able to comment to you. Gosh, I hope it is not doing that weird thing anyplace else to people! Luv, Andrea

Andrea Dietrich July 31, 2010 at 2:42 PM Tirzah, I think I am gonna shut down that blog of mine I had going. TOo much animosity there. I liked how you stuck to the subject, dear. I tend to agree with you, that nobody can know the final time. LUv, Andrea
