the earth splits apart
buildings topple, people run

Heartbeats like a strong earthquake.
Glistening sweat drips on sheets.
Lips on fire with every kiss.
Two souls become one.

Splitting soil and rock; quaking, 
shaking dance of death.

Well shaken; no stirring here;

Con Artist

Hollow ground
Empty sound
Earthquake my roots.
Intrinsic
Puzzle prose,
To amuse
And confuse 
Selfish
Born abuser,
A written
Blank soul.

His father said, "For Heaven's sake!
Your noisy splashes
Resound like crashes 
Destined to become an earthquake!"

Boom! was all we heard
houses sunk into the earth
the foul smell of death

Another heavy blow

One look at a map ought to have shown
What politicians ought to have known
Yet not one would say
Its foolish to lay
Oil pipeline in an earthquake-prone zone!

Note On a Piece of Paper

Just a drop of dew
with earthquake in my heart
sun will make pain go
evaporating tears
returned to a ladybug
childhood full of giggles
sheltered by a leaf
forgot how old I am

Trump Found To Be Flake

Trump has been found to be a flake,
And his earthquake  destroyed cake;
Predictable;
Despicable;
On this we wonder what is your take.

Premium Member Falling Rocks- Sedoka

A river of rocks 
Tumbling from mountain top peaks 
Crashing, crunching, covering 

What caused them to roll? 
Perhaps, it was nature's call 
On the rector scale- an eight

Earthquake

Forceful, unforgiving claws, deep in the earth they dig
Upwards, upwards, breaking more than simply twigs
Cracking crevices, zags, zigs
A roar, a shake, a crick, crig

The Earth Moved

There was a couple that went off to Spain
They sat on the roof sunbathing again
They felt the earth shake
Though love they didn’t make
It was a 5.8 earthquake, that hit once again

San Francisco Earthquake

I want to sleep
With the windows open
On a night that believes 
In winter winds and falling snow
I want to taste your dreams
On a California bed
King sized on the Richter scale
