Earthquake

In this poem, Lisa depicts the aftermath of an earthquake:

Earthquake
by Lisa (grade 10)

The world trembles under the cloudless sky,
bam, crash, clunk, bonk,
one by one,
the pieces fall apart.

Screams of terror and cries for help,
the shattering of a window,
the breaking of a table,
ring through the dark city

Red lights everywhere,
the sound of conversation
hands covered with debris and dirt
fervently searching.

In the midst of chaos
contains a small ray of light
hands work together
hearts become one

The shouts of joy
the synchronized cries
smiles of happiness
laughter of relief

People come together with one goal in mind
to help each other overcome this disastrous sight.
