[hometext] => I woke up this morning with immense grief. I was flooded with sadness for all of the people affected by the disaster in the East. Naturally, I turned to my pen.
[bodytext] => Tsunami homes destroyed bodies mangled in the wake of her path she roared from the bottom of the deep blue sea indiscriminately comsuming all everything in her path where are the children where is my wife where is he my devoted husband he was out on the sea as he does everyday he must come back he will come back he did yesterday how will I go on I have lost everything Every thing I have a picture of him you see he has a mark above his eye you must help me find him he was my everything broken dreams scattered screams women and men patting their bodies in grief and despair have you seen my child she was right over there two days ago I will sit here until she comes back like a miracle out of the chaos floating on a mattress is it her Oh please God let it be I can't stand the smell any longer too much to bear too many reminders of that day when she, Tsunami came roaring through our quiet little village it was just yesterday when she sat on my lap tinkered with my hair Big brown eyes staring up at me now the eyes of my village will never be the same we are different today those who have survived ask themselves why me why did you not take me with the rest of my family I do not want to go on without them there is nothing left nothing except the stench of a former smile a giggle lost but never forgotten April Patterson December 31, 2004 [comments] => 1 [counter] => 208 [topic] => 51 [informant] => Melovee [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Event )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
