Seismic—
                      Shock wave of energy
                    swelling ocean waves,
                  Powerfully driven
                like a freight train 
              rolling fast as a jet,
            Open ocean ninja stealthily 
          racing toward landfall’s
        most evil betrayal,
      Rip-tide on steroids
    sweeping away 
  unsuspecting souls
                                        — Tsunami

I just noticed your comment, Tom. I feel just as you about shape poems, and haven't written many, but this one lent itself to it. Thank you for your kind encouragement. ~Mark
