Floods Poems - Poems about Floods

From His cross is born a river of light that floods the hidden corners of the soul, Power and dominions have crumbled under the gaze of the One who weaves eternity into hearts, Each divine touch is a whisper that wraps us in the mantle of eternity and love, To the very end, He loved us with a...

I love the snow and beautiful blue skies, gentle rain and thunderstorms, winds that blow the fall leaves, leaving a gold carpet up to my knees. I don't like duratio winds, or tornados that suddenly blow in, earthquakes that take down walls, or warm fronts that stall. When flood warnings are posted, I always wish I had a boat, the threats are real, I really hope...

After the floods, We were left with nothing, Our homes lay in ruins, All we had gone leaving us torn. It was an unprecedented downpour, Twilight’s gift to us, Spring was in full swing, The water level rose unabatedly. Everything we had worked for all taken by the floods, Everything we had laboured for was damaged by the floods, Our town stood in the shadow, Our...

After the floods have washed away life hopes and dreams gone with each wave sitting now by a once-small creek, rife with catfish we never thought to save which, though river, now also a grave How can life itself be this fragile Firmly here, and then gone like a gust of wind that sweeps each lone desert mile Longed for rain we can...

We needed to evacuate because the sandbags we put down were not enough to hold the rising tide; how bad it was. We had to flee our homes, which was so tough because we didn’t know what we would find after the floods. Would our homes be destroyed? To think of that, I nearly lost my mind. Were any of us able...

Water! Water! The entire landscape submerged Grave silence! Except the torrents swift and huge Intimidating sights, plains and valleys merged Rushing above the tops of roofs with a surge Clergymen discoursed it the Almighty's curse The end of epoch, predictors prophesied Scientists explained it an eco inverse Country folk acknowledged it ill-fate and cried Swept by it the colonies of little birds Corpses drained...

Cracked castles are in dilemma. whether to fall or stand Waters whirl like a lake and sea, with a lean sign of land. Among the carcasses of beasts lie humans, as though mixed In destiny's destructive force, nature remains transfixed. Swarms of insects strive for existence. Will they all outlast? Ants carry a dead snakelet in procession, unasked. Do dogs, cats,...

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 and trees fell, The tame rivers looked fierce in spate. Waves surfed...
