Natural Disasters-Dixdeaux O

 Nature's red fury astounds the eye
The host of a thousand dreams up in smoke
New life

The sea shrugs its mighty shoulders at man
The shore accepts its wrath and destruction
New life

Winds that blow in writhing tunnels sweep by
Man in awe of this terrible beauty
New life


For Deb's contest-

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/5/2013 8:25:00 PM WOW, Barbara, and this reminds me of a long time ago when someone did a natural disasters kind of contest. I remember focusing on three or four elements like you did but I forget now if I did them as haiku or tanka or what?? anyway, OMG, I was really happily surprised about my win.
