Lewis Raynes Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

Road Became Rubble and Houses All Heaved

I was asleep in a dream of beautiful bees,
When I rolled over onto my side,
Then people all woke and ran from the hills,
Avoiding the lawless landslide.

Road became rubble, houses all heaved, 
Churches all chattered and churned,
And the power poles fell onto the ground, 
And the forest; it blistered and burned.

And out in the blue the swell became swollen, 
And leapt like a lion on land,
Where nothing was safe from the wall of a wave, 
Once it swallowed the beach and the sand.

I was having a dream, all peaceful and quiet, 
When I suddenly decided to wake.
Perhaps I should have just stayed asleep, 
I’m your casual, easy going, earthquake.
