Floods As Imminent Threats Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

Lightnings and thunder-storms go on Over our heads... We get scared and we try to hide our heads Under our cushions anytime... We all love rains anytime, but Not those horrible floods... Clouds are hanging in the skies Hitting each other generating more rains... In a fast glimpse All those pretty rains turn into Scary floods that sweep everything In front them... We watch these floods from behind Our glass panes to see what's going on over there... Life is turning into chaos and disorder outside And everyone prays heaven to take care of all of us... Cats and dogs are cornered Here and there... Those high waves that look like huge mountains Hit those seashores hard... As for me, I watch the clouds in the skies With careful eyes... All streets and all other roads and avenues Are empty anywhere and everywhere... Only running floods are clearly visible Everywhere with no indication that they're Going to stop anytime.... These flash floods threaten everyone's life... No one dares to go outside To see what's going on... I think all basements are filled With large amounts of water... Nowadays floods turn into scary monsters That chase us... Nature is getting more and more crazy... We're getting more and more tense... I sit catching that Jane Eyre' Charlotte Bronte To read what I can... We're still in Fall, but It looks like we're in a real Winter... Rains are normal anymore, but They're are merely life's threats to us.... _______________________________________________________________________
