Best Tsunami Poems

volcano erupts

beachside village in peril --

    monster 'neath the waves


water wall rises

tsunami washes ashore --

     souls float on blue tide

Tsunami, the killer waves.........

When the news of tsunami came crashing to me
my heart felt with sorrow and was reckless insane
Unbearable to see our beautiful villages and towns
were destroyed and left our dreams empty and drained
Can we wash away our tears running down
when the killer tsunami...

Astir the divining of earth.
The sea is alive and gives birth.The sand gives a sigh
And waves are so high.
     The beaches all filled up with dearth.

A freak — oh its mock and its girth.
The tsunami cursed all its worth.Some beachcombers die,
As...

Blazing hot sweats rolled down my back,
A cloudless sky was at reach from my palm’s view,
My eyes centered on the sun as it stood above my head.
Summer’s end sneaked around the corner,
But its endless heat
Fooled me to think it would never cease.
 
Milky sand grains...

Who can withstand the force of nature,
When conflicting powers oppose?
Hidden energy ignites
Shocking earth’s row of plates
Shoving them aside
Propels great sea
Unrestrained
Express
Death

Tsunami

People watching
Small waves rolling,
Sea birds chatter
Seeking shelter,
Tsunami approaching
Island sanctuary.

People fleeing
Water smashing,
Buildings leveled
Trees uprooted,
Bodies floating
Out to sea.

Tsunami!
Survivors
Counting
Blessings....

My heart cries for thousands and thousands of people
those who perished in the earthquake-spawned waves;
known as tsunami, the worst natural disaster
that caused tons and tons of deaths across Asian countries.

It’s a great tragedy, a giant blow to humanity,
with its repercussions to all spheres of life...

sea draws back a breath 
       shore disappears out of view 
            spewing forth its puke

The mighty greedy people of this world, may

Preserve their fortunes!

Poem written: 13th of July 2013



Tsunami

Wall of water,
As high as the clouds,
An uncontrollable force,
Destroying crops and buildings.

Poseidon’s fist,
Neptune’s rage,
Hades’ dream,
Demeter’s nightmare.

Sweeping through cities,
Leaving a path of destruction,
Howling and smashing,
Burying with rubble.

This is powerful,
This is violent,
This is life shattering......
This is a Tsunami....

Ocean bed quivers quakes

receding tide. . .
darkened sea with
much debris



Note:
I live in Hawaii and wanted to let everyone know that our Tsunami warning has been 
lifted and we were blessed with no damage. Our prayers go out to those in Chile....

“TSUNAMI”
May we had been prescient of the disaster,
The ocean with anger gave a bite bitter;
On this day some years back,
Every heart witnessed pain’s track;
Water is our life, our source,
That day it brutally changed its course;
Dead bodies everywhere found in stalk,
Even the peaceful evening not survived...

Oh! Once was a sunny day,
People were so happy and gay… but not for so long. 
The sea… was calm in the morning,
So most were in their boats… but return, they did not. 
But once noon arrived, 
The animals and sea, strange they did act:...
