Deluge

Written for:  dVerse Poet’s Pub:  Drought Or Deluge?  (posted by Walt)
We’re writing one condition or the other. Give us a drought poem (writer’s block would qualify). Or failing that, write the damage of an over-abundance of water/rain (a rain of emotions does nicely here as well), heat, etc… What’s your experience of too much of a thing, good, bad or otherwise? What have you seen or read? Let your poems reflect  some semblance of that! As long as you let the words flow, you’ll never run out!

Sandy started as a hurricane,
gathered speed, gained force,and became
deluge–flooding streets, pushing
ocean water over
walls, buildings, houses–
causing people
like my friends
loss of
home.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    That was indeed a notable deluge. I’m sorry it touched your life personally. Your verse was extremely perceptive, very good!
