Andrea Dietrich Poet Haiku

Nature the Destroyer

she orchestrates storms
her air - which we deplete -
she turns against us

feeling ungrounded -
she quakes inside ancient bones. . . 
we feel her pain

water fills her veins
from oceanic wounds. . . .
she bleeds tsunamis

with red hot passion
she is seething at her core. . . .
fire will be our death

Andrea Dietrich March 17, 2012 at 12:21 AM I thought about what Chris said of my haiku, and I decided to take out the "and" words . I think Haiku read much better without them and I don't know why I keep acting like 5/7/5 is set in stone!!

Jslambert Mister Roboto March 11, 2012 at 10:53 PM and when will we learn to NEVER underestimate the MOFO called Mother Earth! Just last week she reeked HAVOC on IndY, Ky, and Ohio, as well as some southern states. I always find it quite odd when people videotape twister. I mean, that would be the LAST THING my white azz would be doin during a 175 mph duel to the death! whaddabout you!?! I love the PO-eeeeeeM!

M.I.A . March 11, 2012 at 8:44 PM this is a force to be reckoned in all! You made a thrilling image of her persona in this lovely haiku Andrea. Good luck on the contest ;)

Sara Kendrick March 11, 2012 at 6:07 PM Yes, this one has truth and danger..Reads like a winner..Good luck in PD's contest..Thanks for stopping by..I was not to happy the way my work "Boundless Love" went but when I went away and rested then came back and read it again it had a better feel to it..Sara

Robert Johnson March 11, 2012 at 2:50 PM What can we do to appease her rage. When we ignore the lesson's of this wise old sage. She's showed us in many ways. The shortening of her tolerant days. The final chapter's out of our hands. It's hard to say what truth still stands.

Ilene Bauer March 11, 2012 at 1:38 PM powerful and truly "seething at the core" - an excellent poem for the contest. good luck!

Daver Austin March 11, 2012 at 9:11 AM I aint gonna fool with her - no siree. I especially can relate to the second one. These ancient bones of mine feel the quake every day. Like 'em all. LOve, daver

Bl Devnath March 11, 2012 at 7:26 AM Nature's revolution starts to end from time to time, we are bound to bear, all are helpless. Though, it makes justice. Very deep philosophy, loved always, bl
