Hurricane Havoc

"Hurricane Havoc" dangerous winds rage uprooting trees to tumble drenched by rain torrents. flooding waters wrath swallow bridges crumbled stones violence and death. power lines cascade sparking flames igniting homes volatile darkness. ocean waves invade breaching sand dunes overflow beaches dwell with fish. hurricane havoc shelters contain precious life Mother Nature cries. *For SandyIvy Davis's Hurricanes - Only Haiku Contest. *American Haiku 5/7/5 syllable count.

You've depicted the power of hurricanes well here, Linda. How I hope that the coming storm won't add too much damage -- you and all those affected continue being strong and helping each other-- thanks for asking, my mom's doing relatively ok... miss you as well and hugs to you!

Wow,,, Linda my bff.... , Strength in the face of havoc is always in my opinion, it is a good thing. Your haikus are powerful. I hope many of the ones who were affected by this hurricane can change tragedy into something positive. Thank you for the haiku poem :-) Good luck in the contest.. I enjoyed what I read, always~PD

I am concerned about you and all my friends Linda, who are facing this terrifying Nature's disaster in and out of America and hope that these hard winds would soon pass away and everyone would safe. You have sketched a very true picture of the hurricane. My prayers for the well being of all my friends. Love and best wishes. My story may take a day or two more. I will let you know...Ravindra
