The Death Express - Tsunami

Who can withstand the force of nature,
When conflicting powers oppose?
Hidden energy ignites
Shocking earth’s row of plates
Shoving them aside
Propels great sea
Unrestrained
Express
Death

As you read this, please say a prayer for the people of Japan
that the ones who survived will have the strength and courage 
to go on after this harrowing experience.

Gert W. Knop Date: 3/13/2011 10:36:00 AM What a nightmare fell upon Japan and her people!!! More then 10 000 probably dead, so many homeless after that devastating Tsnunami and now the fear of nuclear radiation!!! Fifty nuclear powerstations in such a small country with everyday fear of quakes!! This is against all reason!...Enjoyed the read, my friend....All the best...Gert Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 3/12/2011 3:20:00 PM A "Death Express" is a good way to describe the tsunami that hit Japan. I like the way you described the shifting of tectonic plates - nice scientific touch adds to the emotion of the poem, Annalise. My prayers go out to the people of Japan. The U.S. is sending aid. I hope other countrie will do the same as they'll need all the help they can get. Strong, timely write, dear friend. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
