Turner Tides

Rampage rumbling water roars dig the shores Heavy hard they grapple trees and humans Tumbling turner tides glide no one adore Frightened humans, they run! Run and run fast! As they desire to survive ever more From angry nimbus clouds darkening span To merry-go-round waves muddy wet skirt Gnawing so hungry to launch damage pert Beeping screams a reigning train of terror Rattling man's safety in viral bellow The ground shut bullet rush without error All will see an avalanche fresh fresco the scathe and cries a full furor mirror Waiting for hope - the sun's chrome of yellow Abrupt sea assault bridge to sudden death Taking all weak and anyone with breath © O. E. Guillermo 9:48pm September 28, 2009 *** FROM A DOCUMENTARY I watch about killer tsunami Sponsor Giorgio A. V. Contest Name Top Gun Poetry - Structured forms - Iambic verse II placed 2nd

The wrath of nature is simply powerful. The two recent ones in Thailand & Japan were staggering to watch on TV, just imagine what it must have been like to have been in the midst of it, quite incredible. As with her wrath, there's casualties :( - Fine poem Olive, and thank you for visiting my humble poems :)x

Beautifully descriptive on a terrible natural disaster Olive. One of my son's friends was in the boxing day tsunami about 10 years ago - she saved her grandparents lives when she realised what was happening and they climbed on the roof of the hotel - they had just learned about tsunamis at school! hugs jan xx
