An insightful depiction of the state of unrest before and during a natural disaster is aptly captured in the poem. Awesome poem. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats, third time in a row, this is the 'Poem of the Day'. The scene reflects the scurry during a catastrophe. Very realistic description. Thanks..

Well written, and congratulations on having it selected as poem of the day on January 4 for two years in a row!

Hi Richard, Everybody is Getting Out of Town is a nice poem. You are right that people started moving out of the town in South Tamil Nadu, especially Nagappattinam, Karaikal and adjacent coastal cities when Psunami occurred during 26th December,2004 in India.

This is quite thought provoking and timely. Well said Jarboe.

Oh wow. A serious situation put into rhymes. Lots of truth.

Like this too, the way you leave out the article for population.

Population popping every day The planet bursting all around Population the cause of our dismay And no real solution can yet be found Good poem Sir and I invite you to my page

Well put together, maybe it's best to live away from the cities!

Wonderful poem on our fear of future..I hope that this kind of situation will never occur! an interesting piece of work! well done!
