Tunguska Explosion Siberia Poem by Mark Heathcote

It was reported the sky split in two
hot winds embraced the surrounding areas
the earth shook from a blast, an airburst blew
measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale tables.

June 30,1908, by Tunguska River-
an explosion knocked down some 80 million trees.
Flattening 2,000 km2 (770 sq. miles) not a briar-
remained or stood, not a single tree breezed.

It was said an asteroid or comet.
With the power of a (10-15 M-tons TNT)
exploded before impact into soot;
luckily hitting-there not society.

Year-commencing-2013—watched online-mesmerized.
Comets screeched, on screens a fear-globalized.
