The Comet

In the dark,
of the night. 
A great comet,
streaked across,
the night sky.

The great comet,
burned so intensely.
It burned so bright. 

The seas started to boil.
The land was laid to waste.

Soon came the great quakes.
An thousand foot tidal waves.

Destruction like I've never seen. 
The comet ripped open the earth. 
An laid waste to all the beautiful trees.
