Floods Poems

Earth Takes a Fresh Breath

asteroids descend
lava erupts from below
flood waters sweep clean
leaving traces of its stay
for wildfires to have its way

TEXAS FLOODING WARS

TEXAS FLOODING WARS
(Apropos Of A Lesson Of Nature)

The flood waters came,
leaving lost lives washed away;
eyes flooded with tears:
Nature herself, warring with
collateral disaster:-

So many children
won’t be thirsty anymore;
flood waters drowned them:-
Let us thirst for quenching peace:
our human nature flooded:-

From His cross is born a river of light that floods the hidden corners of the soul

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

“What is the use of a house if you haven`t got a tolerable planet to putt it on.”
Henry David Thoreau
****************************************************************

Global Warming

what have we done
for glaciers to melt so fast
for forest fires to flare so often
for tornadoes to rage so strongly
for droughts to occur oft and anon
for flash floods to recur time and again

Foes of future

                                     Lust, longing  and greed 
            

Floods follow no borders

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.

Poet’s note: The new regime in Bangladesh recently felt that India deliberately opened up dam waters to inundate the neighbour country. This ditty shows, the truth is otherwise. The Indian

Jym Ganahl He Knows It All

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

Floods

Floods damage swiftly
Crops, homes, cars, slopes and lives
Earth's rage, man's neglect.

After the Floods

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

"Positive impact after a disaster, as people show humanity as they come together and give their hearts to help." Quote by poet
 
Rainfall falls so quickly, and heavy 
High water overflowed the river levee 
Causing widespread damage. 
Heartbreak and very difficult to manage. 

The streets turn into deep flowing rivers. 
Cars submerged in the water

After The Floods

Flash floods came in a sudden
After few hours of torrential rain
Villages in towns submerged 
Water rose so high…surged.

People stayed on their roofs
Waited for rescuers holding faith and hope
Teams of rescuers came less than an hour
To save everyone with all their powers.

People evacuated in safer places
Government officials sent foods for days
Relief goods and help came from

After the Floods

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

After the Floods

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

After the Floods

" Many, many years ago our Parish Priest told this story, and I have never forgotten it. The moral being that God helps those that helps themselves. It was a pleasure to put that story to rhyme, and tell it in my own way" The Poet 

The dam wall breaking had caused the floods and

After the Floods

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
