Tsunami I am called, myself an anomaly of creation. When seismic waves pass quaking the earth, And tectonic plates move from the depths of the ocean, I am born out of chaos and everyone curses my birth. I come whirling, swirling, churning, and sweeping, And strike man and beast without rhyme or reason. Frothing with fury, I am deadlier than a Tornado. Both of us like twins in virulence appear in all seasons. Like a mountain erupting suddenly from the depths, I shoot upwards into the sky in torrential force. As I dance my macabre dance, men flee helter- skelter In panic and frustration, finding no other recourse. Before they can get away too far from me, I am out to swallow them raw and rude. I obliterate everything in a sweep of blinding fury, Crashing on and gulping down everything, so crude.

Your poem makes me shiver Valsa. Your poem encompasses the power of the tsunami, and the unyielding devastation it causes. Your talent brought this freak of nature to life.

Imagery and description is impeccable, dear Valsa! Not fun to be swallowed up by a tsunami…some never see it coming, others miss the higher point.

Your poem, Valsa, is a profound masterpiece. The way you personify nature is extraordinary, as you skillfully depict the rage and complete annihilation caused by this cataclysmic event. It is a stark reminder that the earth holds ultimate power over us, asserting its dominance from time to time. Your use of imagery is unmatched, as you effortlessly create vibrant scenes in the reader's imagination, leaving an indelible mark on their psyche.
