But she risked her life for me

Helped other survivors revive
All this didn’t bother

Who just taught his daughter to drive

Scorching lava incinerates the weak and unexpected
Demoralized survivors rise up and rebuild from nothing

ears wiggle
       fingers waggle
     girls giggle
       customers haggle

     curlicues squiggle
       snail-pack straggles
     belly-fat wriggles ~
       survivors bedraggled

The Titanic is loading now at the White House dock
     Smiling alligators and crocodiles boarding unaware

  Theirs will be a voyage with no survivors
     The Lord, no Charge d'affaires

Spaceship

Spaceship explodes,
Many die,
Warm world
Survivors surprised
to find a half-buried
saucer nearby,
So many secrets to gleam.

In the light of the star-beam...
Or is it just an imaginative dream?

The Sea of Society

Not having much
A helpful hand
Keeps the poor 
On dry land

Having it all
To the rich it's free
Given boats
To sail the sea

Left to drowned
The middle class
Creating the survivors
That will outlast

You

You
are beautiful.
like the moon.
cracked and cratered.

You
life meteors.
bombard.

You
do not pull away.
from the earth.
enlightened and light.

Premium Member As Survivors Dwindle To a Precious Few

Blackened potato
            rock-hard tomato
          Piece of stale bread
            filthy mattress, a bed

          All luxuries at Auschwitz 
            Bergen-Belsen and Dachau
          The question is not why they
            survived ~ but How

Including fauna & flora
Putin says, "Me, too!
I am just like you
Blasting that Box of Pandora!"

and family, Russian troops

been liberated from the Nazis!

H.A.I.T.I.

Homes are destroyed
A terrible catastrophe leaves families without warmth or food
It shakes down poor children and takes their parents 
The survivors are struggling for another meal... and the beast,
It leaves utter devastation behind but echoes with its leftovers
Form: Acrostic

Storm

Still so very silently still
Is the night.
Not a sound is uttered
In the quiet night.

As the darkness creeps along
It engulfs its surroundings
Taking every thing as prisoners
There are no survivors.

Beware of the night,
The still so very silently still
night!

General Bedford Forest

CSA General Bedford Forest
Mighty killing warrior
Would've won the war no jest
If his horses were survivors

Gen. Forest lost 30 horses during the civil war and killed more soldiers than any 
other general. It could  be said he was lucky or his horses were unfortunate.
