Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/29/2019 2:40:00 PM I haven't seen this contest but I see congratulations are due! I love your haiku, Tom. I've spent much time studying undersea earthquakes and you describe perfectly how they occur and the damage they can do. Awesome writing -- Carolyn Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/30/2019 4:39:00 PM I just hope Earth still exists in a thousand years. We seem hell bent on destroying our planet. Tom Cunningham Date: 1/29/2019 2:45:00 PM Thank you very much Carolyn, its a facinating subject to study how our earth is constantly changing shape, who knows what it will look like in a thousand years time. Tom.
