Hurricane Poem by Aqua Flower

Hurricane



Water surging into the house
our safe place
we never had doubts
it was a nightmare
we watched before our eyes
disbelief as the water did rise
into every crevice it did go
leaving devastation with ever flow
our eyes couldn't believe
we knew we couldn't leave
water gushing through the walls
it reminded me of Niagara Falls
The hurricane came and left its mark
but enlightment came after the dark

(CONT.) 2 – Niagra is like; each involves a mighty flow of something! But the river and falls [in both the U.S. and Canada] is spelled Niagara. Ever been there? I have. Ok, did you learn to not live next to the ocean? ? ? ! ! Bri (:

A negative impact by the hurriane, but even then, a light at the end of the tunnel. I liked it very much Aqua. Good description

Thank you White Tiger. It was only a touch of the description. Sometimes when things like this happens, it opens your eyes to truth.

It must have been very frightening to be in the middle of it!
