Flood Poems - Poems about Flood

The skies now dark with swollen grief, Rain lashes roofs beyond belief. The monsoon comes not soft, but roaring seas, It spares no home and trees, nor man, nor child.

Stray cats slipped under a waterlogged night only to drift back bedraggled, as if today still pulled at their tails Old Charley Winslow died before the deluge, before the river threw itself over the dike.

(“The Big Wave”, 2023, original encaustic) Mayday, Mayday! Mayday, mayday, Captain, The ship is sinking The ship has capsized While everyone was sleeping. As governments around the world are falling A lack of confidence swells the tide Those in power, corrupt and scheming In panic stick their fingers in the dyke.

Buckets of rain, boisterous as thunder, wrecked September’s farewell, flooding the mountains, the hills, the rivers and creeks. Wild and livid, coloring the air in streaming tears, erasing the faintest feel of a hopeful prayer. The moment spun out of control and I could feel my heart breaking, my mind quaking, my spirit shaking, as...

Floods follow no lofty order, And blind be to any border, They like none, nor dislike, And equal do all strike, He knows who’s a fair beholder. ___________________________ Happenings |24.08.2024| river, flood Poet’s note: The new regime in Bangladesh recently felt that India deliberately opened up dam waters to inundate the neighbour country.

A warning sounded on my phone - An elongated beep - So loud it must be meant to wake Whoever is asleep… Alerting me that there could be, Within my current range, A dangerous flash flood, which I Found really kind of strange. There is no river and no lake For many miles around And certainly no ocean Barreling towards higher ground. Yet I was warned, “Stay...
