The Calm Before The Storm Comments

There is something in this poem that takes me to today. We are all living through what you describe. The first few stanzas remind of the calm, and the setting sun of the warning of the passing away of the familiar. This is. the slumber we all reside in until a jolt arrives...and we begin reacting. I am still not certain that we can this state 'awake.' Brilliant verse, Valsa. To myfavourites.

Below my feet, lay the sandy shore, Extending miles on end to infinite lengths, I lay on it with my arms out stretched, And my mind lost in the maze of unending thoughts........wonderful envision. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.

So nice poem...I like this poem.....

I was lulled into a dreamy state until the tsunami came and spoiled everything! thanks Valsa-10

Is this a poetic trick you've discovered? ? bri :)

Before I could sense what was on, I found myself swept away by the current, To be cast in the abyss of the unnumbered, Those hapless souls, eaten up by the Tsunami waves! Valsa! it's a wonderful poem.....................10
