Best Deluge Poems

Almost all of us will face -at one time or another -

Dire circumstances dragging us into a deluge of misery.
Eluding woe is not an easy thing to do.
Less so for those quite disabled or born into extreme poverty.
Unless we are unusually lucky, 
Grief will come...

It came from all sides;
above, sideways, front and back. It swept
so fast as though it was being attracted
by something.

They didn't know their brains worked
like a heart; pumping in
and pumping out.

Their brains pumped out animosity,
indifference and narcissism
to their lovers, children,
neighbors, and strangers,
only to pump in a...

Our Earth weeps waves of falling tears-
   with hope, each one will be her last
to wipe away climatic fears
   from air pollutants that amass.
 
The floods are triggered by her pain;
   her deluge of emotions pour
in torrents of a...

take one drop of rain
multiply it; speculate,
all that emotion
a little that gives so much,
if only that it was love.

Submerged in intense emotions he keeps  n a v i g a t i n g  into the deluge…

It was him who moved forward into the overwhelming ocean,
he reacted out of determination when he set out to do what was right-

Innocents tremble in terrible terror
Witnessing mankind’s deluge of errors.
Violence grows as a sure hate spreader,
Intent on humanities' ultimate sever.

A deluge of plastic politicians with greedy minds
Focus on leaving justice long lost and behind.
Modern media’s constant deluge of drama
Drags good people down inside insipid trauma.

Landlords, bankers,...

Driving a desert road
touring the landscape
discovering a new world

Overwhelmed by the sight of
rocky gorges and sheer plateaus
striking with bands of white, yellow, orange, and red

dawn rains down with brilliance as

the meadowlark trills.

Long ribbons of pastel hues

form an arc across blue sky.

Nature's havoc....the deluge of destruction....
Human life is such a fragile expression....
Lives depart with the ceaseless downpour....
& with every passing moment,the melancholy is more....

Innocent urchins....old-age-fellows
Pregnant mothers...missing...or who knows...?
It takes ages for a civilisation to be built....
But yeah,it can end without any clue of guilt....!

Let us help...

Ran; they were running up the hill.
Sea was rising to level unseen
I sat in my old shabby car, 
All terrified of what it could be.

I floated in it and was stuck among branches.
The water receded, I was saved, might be.
My eyes opened to “Happy Birthday...
