Earthquake

a mild earthquake

wakes me up today

but lulls me back to sleep

a harbinger

of what's coming?

Remember Japan

remembering
three eleven
when the world, as one,
mourned and helped
a ravaged nation


In loving remembrance of Japan and its people for last year's natural disaster. May you have continued progress and healing, our prayers are still with you.

Mexicali earthquake

the pool's water rocks
and rolls then overflows
at earthquake's call

We were starting to eat our Easter early dinner in my daughter's house when the rumblings started. Looking at the swimming pool outside, we watched with a bit of apprehension, the water of the swimming pool coming upwards towards the house. Nothing serious happened, however, as we rode the rolling wave for the longest time, which we all felt. We learned later that it was in a magnitude of 7.2 in Mexico near San Diego.

Earthquake

half awake
a rumbling reminder
that California
still remains
earthquake haven


a very delayed reaction ...

Haiti earthquake

Haiti nightmare

and many more homeless
