Irish Accents and Caps
Irish accents quake my female southland.
Males 'neath Newsboy Caps stimulate dreamland.
Irish yearns may want touch,
Did not seek to feel such.
Ireland trips could stimulate mate's backhand....

Aspens Quake: Hexsonnetta
The copse of aspens quake.
Horses graze and cows laze
as languid summer splays
emeralds in its wake,
low fields to overtake
the prospect's cyan glaze.
Immutable the sun
in lambent saffron drape
above the lucid scape
contemplates the glisten,
auscultates the paean,
the whispering of crepe
as runes the leaves impart
to dulcify the heart.*
*Hexsonnetta is a form invented by Andrea Dietrich

Quake
Quiet fault lines wake up.
Quivering earth rumbles,
Quickly igniting fears;
Qualms of disaster loom.
Quality of buildings -
Questionable if safe.
Quest begins for relief.

Relapse
A quake took place
between my shoulder blades
teeth ground to dust behind my face
the scraping of tectonic plates
scared me to my hiding place
bottles and blankets, a child’s space
it cannot withstand the shakes
that are now all too commonplace....

Fair Warning
stealthily hiding behind gray white mists
wispy smoke rising heavenward in twists
within caldera red hot lava boils
menacing flora, fauna and topsoils
beware if ground beneath feet starts to quake
creating distance the best choice to make
don't count on Planet Earth being your friend
always has potential to bring our end
please try not to take it personally
planets must do what...

Shake From a Quake
A little pre-dawn shaking was going on around LA.
Early morning risers got a jolt on St. Patrick’s Day.
This quake went the same way so many had gone before.
Today, it measured on the Richter scale at 4.4.
Nobody was hurt, and no damage had been done.
However, experiencing an earthquake is scary and not fun.
Was it the spirit...

Quake Footles
Earth quakes
Rocks slip
Tremors
jolting
Tins clash
Men scream
Ground cracks
Mud caves
Sea growls
Boats sway
Waves roar
Tides crash
Birds roost
Beasts cry
Fear creeps
Knees shake
Rubble
surrounds
Fate sneers
Death waits
God helps
Quake stills
All wreck
No death
Silence
pervades

Quake-Stricken Town In China
I was truly saddened by the massive quake
that shook China’s Sichuan province;
It was a huge disaster, a furious nature
that at times like this is indeed doleful.
I saw images of devastation all over,
I saw human sufferings in this situation;
I couldn’t believe their profound sadness
seeing deaths in legendary proportions.
Described as one of the worst disasters
in terms of...

Earth-Quake
Before anyone could say another word,
they all heard,
the quake,
a low, slight blow,
ready to grow,
and put on one hell of a show,
it was a distant rumble at first,
it grew rapidly, the buildings shook,
that’s all it took,
as rubble crumbled down,
crushing the ground,
cracking the streets,
and the earth opening at their feet,
upward went the vast soil,
people screaming during the...

Mother Earth shivers violently, quakes;
Her fracked core splits apart and
She weeps for her children....

Quake In the Making
Sown by beings courageous
The seeds of unsayables
Streak across landscapes echoless,
Vast and conscious of our mindsets,
To sprout home a shift paradigm
That gives insights to the sightless, quake not,
And voices to the mute....

The Great California Quake of 2024
Disasters have plagued our planet since the dawn of time,
When primitive creatures rose from primordial slime,
And a comet came down to hit a dinosaur’s head,
Causing a headache so bad, he was better off dead.
So, he asked the plain question, “to be or not to be?”
And invented Tylenol with codeine, number three.
Before...

Katrina and Quake
Sunlight through watchglass converge at a point
Great nations through natural disasters unite
Katrina in U.S.or quake in pakistan
Its nature plan to make us more strong
the load of those who died
is on our shoulders who left behind
though hurt we not feel defeat
world will see us again stand on our feet...
