Linda-Marie Sweetheart Poet Haiku

Hurricane Havoc

    "Hurricane Havoc"



dangerous winds rage
uprooting trees to tumble
drenched by rain torrents.

flooding waters wrath
swallow bridges crumbled stones
violence and death.

power lines cascade
sparking flames igniting homes
volatile darkness.

ocean waves invade
breaching sand dunes overflow
beaches dwell with fish.

hurricane havoc
shelters contain precious life
Mother Nature cries.


*For SandyIvy Davis's Hurricanes - Only Haiku Contest.
