Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light) Poems

The ‘Shepherdess’ arrived at
Constant Bay on Sunday
afternoon 1879 31st August
sea calm virtually no wind
...

proud beacon
darkness lamp lit
night aspiring
...

many hotels
damaged
shocked guests
evacuated?
...

Canterbury
Business District
cordoned off
...

the earthquake
was terrible
now you understand
no water?
...

I too feel
and suffer

for Christchurch
...

an earthquake here
like that this house
will fall judgement day
I have made my choices
...

there will be
earthquakes
many more
you fear injury
...

many bodies
still 2 be
identified...
...

about 2 post
several quake
poems soon
