Hurricane Haiyan -

Roaring
Lightening
Smashing
Wasting
Roaring, lightening blue sky, blue ocean
Swishing, wasting men, houses, land.

Good write. . .I often stood in the eye of the hurricane, feeling its power around me, waiting for it to strike. Filled with a beautifully dangerous anticipation.

Interesting form of poetry that packs qiute an impact. Your words summon images, sounds and feelings of the disaster very poignantly in just these few chosen words.
