Just a Few Things

Just a few things that I do hunger for When the sun... bakes When the snow... flakes Scenic... breath takes I just adore Vanilla... milkshakes Sprinkled... cupcakes Boating... on lakes Just a few more Just a few things that I don't hunger for Virus... outbreaks Sneaky people... snakes Aging body... aches That make me feel sore Under-covered… fakes Trembling... earthquakes All my... mistakes Out the door I don't hunger for... anyone to fall I do hunger for... happiness for all I Hunger For Poetry Contest Sponsor: Silent One 7-21-2019

Enjoyed, Charles. Look up your city on the USGS. Most cities have earthquakes more often than they think.wisconsin had earthquales.You just cannot feel them like southern Califonia or India. Earthquakes are rare events. 6 folks died in the heat in the Midwest, Nobody dies in earthquakes unless severe. But ,,,love jour joyful poem. A mild earthquake is nothing..I have lived through many.

Thank you, Panagiota. Yes, this is true. When I lived in Glendale, Ca. for a year back in 1980 I felt numerous earthquakes. Fortunately, living here in New Jersey we don't get to much as far as earthquakes, twisters..etc. But in some shape or form Mother Nature can show up anywhere and in the most unexpected places. Thanks again...Sending love...Charlie
