Best Floods Poems

Though thunderous noises besiege me
And menacing flames threaten my being
I will gaze upon wondrous works of creation 
And trust that I should not fear

Amidst potent floods, I will stand 
Anxiety may hang thick as clouds above me
And though I trod through dark, murky waters 
My...

Dark clouds loomed over the horizon
They broke loose in unprecedented force
Nature’s wrath, sudden violence acquired
It rained down as if unleashing all her fury
It was a downpour without one equal

The heavens let down dark misery for days on end,
Water bodies swelled and hollows filled,
Land mass slipped...

Violins drowned
Voices strangled
Nightmares invade sanity
Under covers of fear
I must hide and sleep
Even inside darkness
I see us both
Weep...

Paris Floods

In the city of young lovers
Of those lost philosophers
I rushed there to be
Alone
Walking along ancient stone

I was flooded
With wine
The rains would not stop
Depressions grasp soon to make me drop

Surrounded by poetry
Buried in the authors plume
Black ink crawls all over 
Devouring what little was left...

The land is flooded
rain that never stops
houses lay abandoned
water running through

Still the rain comes
relentless, incessant
roads are impassable
villages cut off

Army busy building
defences that are
all too soon swept away
and still the rain falls

Cattle airlifted to safety
their fields under water
a state of national emergency
declared by government

Promises to help

THE CHENNAI FLOODS - SECOND PART


No food nor drinking water, those alive, pity
Faced chillness, starvation and panic in eyes
No medicines, no blankets and no clothes 
People succumbed in homes and on roads

Hundreds of people dead; countless injured
Houses and cars in thousands submerged 
All essential storage...

THE CHENNAI FLOODS - FIRST PART

Firstly the rains came calling cool
It instantly brought hope and happiness
For people relished the Celsius dip down
And hoped for reservoirs to fill to lips

But pretty soon the horrific floods followed
As it rained cats and dogs, days on end 
As monsoon...

Inferno of Floods/ Höllenflut/ Infierno de inundaciones   

Inferno of floods
After heavy rain in the mountains
Furious and unexpected

Death toll in muddy water
And nature will strike again

Inferno der Fluten
Nach starkem Regen in den Bergen
Wütend und unerwartet

Todesopfer in schlammigem Wasser
Die Natur wird wieder zuschlagen

Infierno de inundaciones

I loved it very dear
A unique find it was

I drove it very far 
Without any fear 

Driving was pleasure
Travelling in, a pride

Its presence a delight
That many saw in awe

It was a fairy in white
Darting across milestones

Skimmed on Highways
Carrying family to places

Safely, surely and quickly
It sped...

Braising sun stagnate, scaring blistering air, sand cutting strafing, more will I mention, elements raising, wedge freely created, by those who do not care.

Floods freely forging, water crushing scare, wave weaving pressing, life lightly wasted, warnings for all to beware....

Floods in wintertime each year,

A pain exists in my heart
When I see your tears
Ripping apart my perceptions
Of humanity

Miles apart
When time holds still
One day, we shall see
Beauty
Together in a garden
Of blooming flowers
Music sifting through us
After dark

Poetry you see
Where dreams start...

Gushing and Rushing with no delay
Similar to a run in an olympic relay
Rising its level with rabid haste
Making human watched likened to a paste

It came from the height of the heavens
Wrathly pouring down to bald mountains
Dashing down having no mercy given
Towards these beings that thinks...
