some beautiful lines, it was an undersea earthquake, the size and displacement of water plus the distance and formation of the coast are directly proportional to the impact. The sea is beautiful but not a God. To worship God our creator is to receive warnings in our dreams.

I tried to decipher your poem without reading the explanation for quite sometime. I couldn't. Great work, Vijay. Who is to blame for this disaster? My heart throbs.

a poem of grief-of not wanting to experience the whole event ever again...

Hi Vijay, Excellent poem I liked it a lot! ! I like the beginning very much: You came, You conquered, You took by surprise... It is a very strong beginning. Sharp and effective. Like a Caesar the tsunami conquered all. I love the metaphor. Also I like very much the perspective of this poem, that is from the point of view of the local populations and their gods. You could also make it bit sharper, that is: enter into their mind and explore and dress it with their words. But well done. Also I like that water is portrayed in this way. After all it can be a life giver or cruel. And we are all trying to make sense of it in our own way. It is a good poem. It needs a little bit of filing here and there to make it perrfect. You also have given me some idea for some new poems of my own...thank you. Enea

You had me going there. I guess I'm not too good with riddles. Whatever could be so terrible as to deserve your descriptions. Though never having been in one or around one, Tsunami wonderfully fits your words. I'll have to admit I've never heard the expression: turn turtle. You capture the desolation here.
