About Water

Water goes down to lower places
Water flows in curves
Water cleanses

In tornadoes, tsunamis and storms
Water is not water
Then what is it?


Premium Member The Message God's Sent

Floods coastal and inland
    Droughts across the world
  Rising temps, melting ice
    Tsunamis at us being hurled
 
  We clamor for climate action
    Searching in vain for consensus
  Yet we scoff at the message God's sent
     ~ Time for us all to repent

Saline

She weeps
carelessly spilling more and more tears
I have caused this tsunamis
there is no word to comfort her
Instinctively, we warm each tear in the palms of our hands
carefully listening to what they each said
Just in case we forget how to speak

By, Michael Lanier

In Their Sleep

In their sleep
they dreamed barren dreams
to conquer the earth
to become mountains that move
trillionaires that own the world 
lakes that never flow to oceans
Tsunamis that upset continents
thunder and lightning
that send all creatures hiding
but they forgot they are simple mortals
that perish as tomatoes

Her

My devotion for her
lies underneath the ground,
where no being can reach.
The inner core of the Earth is where it is -
volcano eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes
are my expressions of how my affection is.

No being but you
that can swim in the lava of my affection,
ride my wave
and still stand hearty when I'm
shaking.

Premium Member If I Had a Magic Eraser

If I had a magic eraser I would erase the pandemic
I would erase forest fires
I would erase hurricanes
I would erase tsunamis
I would erase racism
I would erase sexism
I would erase ageism
I would erase homophobic attitudes 
I would erase bullies
I would erase hatred
I would erase misunderstandings
If I had a magic eraser

Premium Member Earth Mother

I swam in your ocean
Flew in your skies
Mother Earth so 
Nurturing and wise
Now you fight back
With perilous fury
Waves and storms
The bodies we bury
Tsunamis and earthquakes 
Sandstorms and snow
We have poisoned you
Chemicals in tow
I hope you forgive
Our ignorant ways
Man has deserted you
Mother Earth nights and days

Premium Member And No One Looked Back

unexpectedly
volcanoes spewed hot lava…
     the end had begun

undersea earthquakes
produced many tsunamis…
     life on land succumbed

then a meteor
destroyed the last plot of land…
    Earth engulfed by sea

spirits were rising
all kind souls entered heaven…
     and no one looked back

Kind husband, vigilant father, loving son, mischievous brother
Brother of Lizard and Kippie-bombs
Lover of Kahtabeak, Danbug and Benbot
Who feels joyful, happy and satisfied
Who fears brown recluse spiders, level 4 biohazards and tsunamis
Who would like to see an end to mourning, outcry and pain

The World Is Self Destructing

The world is feeling pain now.
It's not just 'over there'. 
Tragedy is striking and
it's hurting everywhere.

From bomb blasts to tsunamis, 
now another hurricane.
Theres so much devastation.
In the end what will remain? 

Has the whole world just gone crazy? 
Do we see what's taking place? 
The world is self-destructing
and we have no hiding place.

Premium Member Orange Grove Goddess

Orange grove goddess of the Florida Keys
Citrus in her veins, rejuvenation in her step
Oozing fruity frothy saccharine sweetness
We tiptoe around her swirling juices
Fearful of her wrath if her trees dry up
She is not a nice goddess when angered
Bringing in tsunamis and other disasters
Shh! That’s her I caution the wind.
The ocean knows better than to irritate her.

Premium Member Narcissist

Surging he rode the rogue wave, rendering righteous destruction in his path.  With lethal intent, he corralled his quarry in the bay. The serene cool crystal waters soon turned crimson red with the blood of the innocent and vulnerable.   

brutal hearts brazen
emotional tsunamis
slay in the shallows

Premium Member Nature the Destroyer

she orchestrates storms her air - which we deplete - she turns against us feeling ungrounded - she quakes inside ancient bones. . . we feel her pain water fills her veins from oceanic wounds. . . . she bleeds tsunamis with red hot passion she is seething at her core. . . . fire will be our death Written by Andrea Dietrich For PD's NATURE THE DESTROYER *HAIKU FORM ONLY* Poetry Contest

A New York Moment

One midnight moment
will hover over a grain of sand,
a quartz, a glass facet,
a sphere spun
by a self-winding collective consciousness.
Everything will change - nothing will.
Mice will not transform back to white horses,
tsunamis will always be
just one wave away from possible.
Crowds will gather, cheers will disperse.
One lone firework will fall to earth
to fizzle on as bright as it can
for a while.

Island of One

Dreaming of past gills:
Quiet galaxy around
Bubbles hold my life...

Schools of shadows swim...
I am not an alien here
Mermaids do exist...

Ecolocation
Travels finding your soul near -
Coral in exile...

My fins caress you...
A stranger in your roughness
So suffocating...

Tsunamis of Soul
Reminding me of my lungs...
Refusing to drown...

Shipwrecked but alive
Secrets buried under blue
I KNOW I'll be LOVED!

Ode To Frigidity

I want to enter you like a poem in flames,
And bleed inside like a beheaded rebel.
I want to join a revolution of forgotten kisses,
Slowly awakening underneath your frozen sea,
Remembering tsunamis you once unleashed
Swallowing every ship of my fleet
In your toothless mouth,
When I floated, lifelessly, 
Like a wrecked paper boat;
While your dog slept, on the floor,
In blissful canine dreams,
On entangled poetry of our clothes.

About Whales In a Fish Story -Corny-

" O' Whale ... A Fish Story ... "




The Biggest, Exclamatory Interjection, Used In The Ocean
The Phrase That Holds Many A Gigantic Wave's Commotion


It's Often Spoken In:   Hurricanes, Monsoons or Tsunamis
But Its Not:   Oh My!  Look Out!  or  See!  or  Ooou-Weee!


It's  " Well! "   -  Says Every Little Fish of The Sea ...

(Just Ask: Finding Nemo - he he he)

Fate

If only life would flow with ease,
like a sailing yacht glides
with a warm summers breeze.
Life is unpredictable,
what happens next
we cannot tell,
like the devastating speed
of a raging tsunamis swell.

Some things in life
are beyond our control.
We try to plan each step,
aiming for the ultimate goal.
We are all delusional 
to think life we can dictate.
When it's really nature
that holds all the aces
and deals us all our fate.

Buried Secrets

where the seagull dies
stringless origami cries
loneliness of soul

koi fish suffocate
colors fade in Bonsai trees
island in distress

words not understood
shadows grin tricks on rice walls
tsunamis in eyes

geisha of the world
love is lost in illusions
freedom is her dream

men with cold fingers
whither blossom of her spring
harakiri end

in the seagull's grave
origami secrets kept
chicks learn how to fly

Premium Member the immigration bill 3-2-1 shoot down

Gun funds fought latin commies
And launched immigrant tsunamis
Trump's wall at the border
Now reads out of order
And can't stop the kids and their mommies

Don't forget gang deportation
That affected some latin nation
What we sent down there
Gave many a scare
Being bullied is no vacation

Republicans caught in a lie
We do know why they won't vote aye
They'd the polls ruffle
With border kerfuffle
Designed to make Biden the bad guy

Between Us

Just for tonight
We’ll dance
Have nothing on our minds
Roam nothingness 
Speak in endless looks 
Forget that tsunamis brought us here 

Just for tonight
We’ll hold each other in the most simple of ways 
Ask for hands to be held with nothing but grazes
And lips to be kissed with nothing but tempted faces 

We’ll forget about all the wonders and disasters 
We’ll be stuck but graciously floating 
Just for tonight 
And every other night you’ll have me

Tsunami

Tsunamis.
Come and go as they please, 
Often unannounced.
Like a party crasher at a wedding,
Or a surprise package in the mail.
Unexpected and unknown.

Tsunamis.
Bring chaos and panic,
Tumbling down around you.
Like a thunderstorm,
Or a blizzard,
They can ruin whatever they please.

Tsunamis.
Destruction and terror,
Panic and stress,
Yet, after every rainstorm, comes a rainbow.
New Beginnings, a fresh start.
The light at the end of the tunnel.

climate change

    what comes tomorrow
    leaves some elements of doubt
    earths rain wind and fire
    seems to dominate the skies
    save for our eternal light

    arctics melting ice
    overflowing tropic isles
    oceans reclaim land
    earthquakes raise tectonic plates
    tsunamis obliterate

    carbon dioxide
    polluting earths atmosphere
    fossil fuels banned
    net zero global warming
    when will mankind understand
