The Haiku - We Are Thinking About You
By Robert T Gasperson
First there's an earthquake
Then the ocean surges in.
Destroys everything
The ground should be still;
Something sturdy to stand on;
But not on this day.
The floor is moving.
It's shifting beneath my feet.
Can't keep my balance.
Shelves and cabinets
Are dropping all they can hold.
Then they fall over.
All the people brace
Trying not to be buried,
Hoping they don't die.
When the shaking stops
It takes a few moments for
People to come out.
Eyes slowly open
Fear burning deep within her
Tears flowing from him
Everything destroyed.
There is nothing left standing
'Cept maybe our pride.
It was not over.
Nature had one more surprise
For us to endure.
Everyone wide eyed
Watched as a wave crashed towards them
Washing them away.
Then the ocean surges in.
Destroys everything
The ground should be still;
Something sturdy to stand on;
But not on this day.
The floor is moving.
It's shifting beneath my feet.
Can't keep my balance.
Shelves and cabinets
Are dropping all they can hold.
Then they fall over.
All the people brace
Trying not to be buried,
Hoping they don't die.
When the shaking stops
It takes a few moments for
People to come out.
Eyes slowly open
Fear burning deep within her
Tears flowing from him
Everything destroyed.
There is nothing left standing
'Cept maybe our pride.
It was not over.
Nature had one more surprise
For us to endure.
Everyone wide eyed
Watched as a wave crashed towards them
Washing them away.
