Then...
Screams of the injured Can I help you?
Trees split in half Hold on to me
Children sobbing Don't give up
Houses crumble Tread water
Body bags Love you
Death Live

A world upside down The bleeding stopped
Cars floating by We're almost there
Boats sinking You look great
Trains askew I found her
possessions He's fine
just a Breathe

Exclamations of rapture People help themselves
New branches growing Lovers hug forever
A baby smiling Heads above water

Please God
Watch them
Eternally
almost threw me for a loop but it served its purpose and made me read each line. You captured the tragedy well and brought out salient points that should be remembered by many. The awesome power of mother nature shouldn't be tinkered with.
Color me amazed! I have never encountered such a very different format for a poem. The format itself caused the subject matter to stand out in stark relief from the usual lines we see written by other wonderful poets. Such a complete treatment of after effects of the Disaster. Well done!
just very impressed. great work, visually and emotionally as well as the actual wordcraft.
this one up, the direction quickly took hold of me. i liked how it was constructed and the mood of the piece conveyed nicely. the ending may be able to elaborate on. a very thoughtful poem for those lost.......nicely done.....don
