[hometext] => Compared to the rest of the world, we in the UK get off pretty lightly with disasters.It doesn't stop some us blowing them out of all proportion though .I hope nobody is offended by this, it's more a comic look at how us Brits are.
[bodytext] => Hold the front page, raise alarms, catastrophe has struck They say it registered 5.3 and caused widespread distress Tranqulity at breakfast torn apart by disbelief Not this time through cricket scores but the horror of the quake Slates dislodged from rooftop perches, rubble thrust to ground A neighbour's cat was traumatized, a garden wall collapsed Did stiff upper lips all quiver ?, did mayhem rule the scene? Our isolated island now aligned with wider world For those momentous seconds, when earth would not stand still T-shirts must be printed, exclaiming "I was there !!" What learned scholar should we trust, appoint to head the team? Advisor of our destiny , chief of Committee Shake. The fabric of society, is stained with utter shock What fate for this Utopia, our vulnerable little isle Cobras in the flowerbed?, snakes lurking in the shower ? Maybe even barracuda in the local village pond. Where once sleep troubled only by the rising cost of fuel Nightmares fuelled by visions of apocalyptic doom We think, discuss, consult, deny that all they said was true Because we live in England, we don't do earthquakes!!, do we ?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
