I was in a flood zone in New Zealand...all the roads were underwater...we just got through before roads were closed because it had washed away...yikes...and waves were washing over the roads...never seen it before like that..
Good lune
Well done

My heart goes out to all in the path of raging waters. I remember all too well the breaking levies that flooded New Orleans. Best to you with your entry.

I liked the use of overwhelms in the Satori (third)line. It fits the word as applied perfectly. At a glance the magnitude of floods was beyond expected.

You did an excellent job in presenting this poem concretely and meaningfully.

I know it's hard to write a good 5/3/5 poem, but here you've done that. It paints a definite picture in mind. Rain, can be one's worth nightmare. Superb! Les

Rivers flooding can be very dangerous for us all.

Powerful words.

I love your Lune contest entry, especially the last line "flooding overwhelms". Your author notes complete the picture and is informative. I love that your chose to write about a true story. Although it's devastating. Your image compliments the words well.

Hi,

Boy, I can identify with flooding. We used to live by what they call 'a 100-year old wash'. Uhhhh, we were there in the 100 the year! NOT pretty.

Great presentation. Good luck in the contest

Cheers & Blessings

    Thank you for your kind review. We are still being inundated with rain that only adds to the flooding already present.
