Nature's Wrath Poem by Valsa George
Nature's Wrath
Dark clouds loomed over the horizon
They broke loose in unprecedented force
Nature's wrath, sudden violence acquired
It rained down as if unleashing all her fury
It was a downpour without equal
The heavens let down dark misery for days on end,
Waterbodies swelled and hollows filled,
Land mass slipped and trees fell,
Rivers were in spate and dams were full
Waves surfed and waters roared,
Like mountains they rose over the land,
Men in throngs were evicted from their homes,
Hundreds died and livestock perished
Such violence, never ever imagined
Helter-skelter, people fled for life.
Lands inundated and folks marooned,
Homes washed away with all belongings
Power failed and life has come to a halt
Rescue operations go on in full swing
Still many, stranded and crying for help
"Water, water everywhere, nor even a drop to drink"
As Nature thus plays her perfidious trick,
We shall stay united and pool all our might,
To regain for our land what we have lost
When the Deluge chants the dirge of dying souls!
I hear the rhyme of ancient mariner, Water, water everywhere, nor even a drop to drink'.....I can visualize the apathy of people of Kerala! The situation is very nicely sketched in this beautiful poem! (10)
Descriptive and factual poem of on earth. Living in Florida, I have suffered the wrath of many hurricanes.
(part two) Speaking of those obnoxious soundtracks, my new method to avoid them is to put foreign language, cryptograms or gibberish in the poem area, and then put the poem in the poet's notes area! So far it has worked.
Valsa, I'm sorry that I haven't read any of your work for a while. I almost left Poem Hunter altogether because I got so fed up with them adding soundtracks to all my poems. This is the first I've heard of your terrible flood, as I seldom watch the news. I hope that by now the mess is all cleaned up and your life is back to normal. May God bless you and your loved ones, and all of the people in the affected area.
Devastating! ! ! The destruction, human loss, and heartache...too much. Yet, despite this terrible disaster, people rally to assist and rescue. Hoping you and your loved ones are safe.
Yes, it was so horrifying..... Kim! Thanks to the concerted efforts of the people and the Govt....the State is back to normal

I too heard of this rain and flood. I hope relief will soon be there from this rain for things to get normal. God willing this deluge will turn the next harvest in to a harvest of gold.
It has been much more severe than viewed or understood from outside! It will take months for the situation to go back to normal! Hope the agony will soon be abated at least to a bearable extent! Thank you Savita....
