Poetry: Natural disasters


California Fire's ...

I hate all of these California fire's.
How it destroys killing people's hopes and desires.
I hate how it has become an ongoing thing.
Always leaving us trying to recoup every spring.

Leaving our beautiful green mountains all burnt and changed.
How can anyone do something so hateful and deranged?
All the damage goes on longer than one would think.
Long after the flames are out, even after the smoke and stink.

Leaving families devastated to hurt and heal.
Still others in confusion to spin and reel.
My heart aches to see the burnt mountains in stubble.
The one that caused it will eventually see their trouble.

Firemen and volunteers all giving their all.
In our eyes they will forever stand proud and tall.
As they tirelessly work as a well educated crew.
To fight the raging flames and the eery hue.

We are forever grateful for all that they do so brave.
To show our gratitude however small, to salute or wave.
They saved us all from a terrible blaze.
They will forever deserve our gratitude and praise.

    The water rises
    all around,
    there's nowhere dry
    not an

    The day of the storm

    My little girl was happily singing
    Walking back from school
    Laughing merrily at the sun

    My legs froze with terror
    Earthquake split the air
    Everything in house felt the tremor
    Even my pulsating heartbeat race
