Tsunami (Other) by auscot
T umultuous, towering, torrents of water, S ending shock, death, destruction and sorrow U nrelenting, unhindered inundation. N umbing our minds, plumbing the depths of our grief, A s the human toll mounts beyond comprehension, M arking our insignificance in nature. I t is called an act of God!

Up the ladder: strawberries
Down the ladder: Stirrings

It is a good poem, makes you think about the people in Asia.

Why not call it Arostic?
We call such events "Acts of God" realizing that if a similar quake shook the ocean just 100 miles off the California coast as it did off the Asian coast, that we would have had about five minutes warning, and as many of us probably would have died.
Pleasant dreams, and respectful prayers.
