Abe Lopez Poet Choka

Silent Destruction

The violent 'V'
Disguised in a black rain coat
Dancing the meadow

Gone undetected
A moment of destruction
Silently Creeping

Ravishment rising
Displacing time, hope, lives, dreams
Silent aftermath

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen April 30, 2009 at 7:29 PM Abe, You are so right about tornadoes. They are to be respected and avoided. Nice write. D S-J

Laurie Ginn April 30, 2009 at 4:02 AM Gosh Abe such a vivid description. Their power is hypnotizing then as you say the aftermath.

Tyler Martin April 27, 2009 at 9:55 PM The sounds of a tornado are silent untile the core hits. Then the silence returns. Excellent descriptions. Tyler

Charlene Bird April 27, 2009 at 9:01 PM Yes, tornados can wreak havoc on beautiful land and homes, but, you have captured a beautiful image in this wonderful write. Thanks for sharing!

Nadia Shahwan April 27, 2009 at 6:38 PM This is beautiful. Thank you for commenting my poem. No intentions to disqualify any of your poems; the far eastern poetry forms tangle...apologizing. Your poetry is lovely to read. I wish you all the best.

April 27, 2009 at 4:43 PM The vivid images forward your thoughts in a creative way in this poem. It's such a sad thing when people lose all they've worked for in a lifetime in a few moments. Thank you for sharing this well-written poem with us. Keep on writing! Karen

Lena Townsend April 25, 2009 at 11:38 PM Great writing. I love the line "Disguised in a black rain coat" an excellent description. tornadoes are such a powerful force of nature. You captured the truth of them well in this one. Smiles from Lolita

Nadia Shahwan April 25, 2009 at 2:24 PM This a beautiful haiku (not choka..sorry). I'm looking forward to reading more of your poetry.

Nadia Shahwan April 25, 2009 at 2:23 PM Fascinating choka.

Carolyn Devonshire April 25, 2009 at 12:41 PM Excellent write, Abe. The cyclones give little warning, but the devastation lingers in the "Silent aftermath."
