A Fault Poem by Aashisha Chakraborty

A Fault



A fissure, a fault is born
The high, proud and mighty; the perfect
buckle and break, smothered, torn.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is inspired by the horrific Nepal earthquakes that have wrecked the Himalayan areas. The haiku also ventures into a philosophical domain, hinting at the power of a single fault that can bring the most powerful and the best of the people to heel.
RIP the earthquake victims.

Brilliant poem Aashisha. I live in an earthquake prone region so I can relate to it and even if I didn't it is a piece for everyone. Thank you. RIP the earthquake victims.
