The Storm

The storm roars and exhale
                                              is it Mother Earth last convulsions
                                                               12.21.2012

I like the topic that you have chosen on which to write your work..We will only know if this prediction is true after the date given..As far as it being a real Haiku I can't help you on that..You can just type in Haiku on your search engine and get some very helpful information on better how to write one...Enjoyed reading this afternoon..Thanks for stopping by my work..I appreciate you stopping there..Sara

New York probably felt like it was the last convulsion, yet she took another breath. In the process she took our breath away. It is amazing how 3 lines can conjure up so many images.
