Haiku Heights: Tsunami



A break from haiku
creativity rushes
like a tsunami

Like a tsunami
advancing and receding 
equal in power 

Equal in power
the lonely tear of a child
and a tsunami


Inspired by the theme at

National Poetry Month

    I wish I was disciplined enough to write haiku's as well as you do.

    A child's tears of loneliness can indeed be as heartbreaking as a tsunami !

    Nice cascade from the huge overwhelming rain to the tears of a child.
