Notes About The Poem

This poem has been written about the devastating floods that we suffered around Cumbria, NorthWest England, thankfully we were okay, but a lot of neighbouring areas are still trying to recover from all the floods in December, January and February. But as always whatever happens the community always come together to do whatever they can to help everyone. 

Such a Hullabaloo

The rain lashed down
Puddles of water getting deeper
The sea rolled in fury
Smashing against the rocks
Waves leaped over the wall
As the wind bellowed
Howling through the streets
The storm raged
And roared
Its temper flaring
As the water raised higher
Again and again
Soaking the ground
Already drenched
So much devastation
But the torrent carried on
As the gust whipped up
Thrashing all in sight
The hullabaloo was frightening
Bridges collapsing
Buildings flooding
Trees broken
So much havoc
That seems relentless
But stronger we stand
Against the storm
