Storm Brings Disaster

This form is called, Laurette.
Love rest on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Rumi    

A raging surf Pounds the white shore And the pilings of homes Collapses one Gone forever The shell upon waves roams

How devastating climate change has been with its incessant global floods, its debilitating heat, earth quakes, lashing hurricanes, disastrous tornadoes , all natural disastrous ten time worse, God is cross, we have not looked after Planet Earth as we should have done. I really enjoyed your poem about Storm brings Disaster, such an eloquent write Sara, well penned my friend. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.

Why, thank you, Jennifer. We have ten years of wet then ten years of drier where I live. It is dependent upon the temperature of the ocean. Sara K

Aurore, I can't imagine what those in Florida and South Georgia went through when the hurricane first hit. So far we are okay. Sara K

Haunting imagery, Sara. Something about that 'shell roaming' makes me think that it is seeking out its true home. ~ gw

Interesting form Sara, have often seen houses lose their battle with coastal erosion, heartbreaking to see. Hope your week is going well. Tom

Tom, there was a video on the internet that someone filmed of a home losing its footing and ending up being toss by the sea. The article said that at one time there were sand dunes plus sea grass there, but it had slowly been eroded and then there was nothing left to hold the ocean back. Sara K
