I

gone without warning

tide ebbing beyond despair

water’s cleansing wrath


II

ancient Tsunami

angry god in ocean’s form

awakened sleeper


III

dreaming living dreams

humanity reminded

all is fragile thought

It is exactly as you say.

Magnificant! Such a terrible tragedy it was and still is for many. Haiku is a skill I never have been able to master but you've done it perfectly. Loud applause from a new member of your gallery of fans.

You captured Japan's tragedy with your Haikus. Nicely done!

Your ripples are lovely in the wake of such tragedy and devastation.

Dear Box of Ice, your "Ripples" ring with resounding truth.

Well done!

Very good. A cohesive triple with the best saved for last... though these are in reverse order as per the real life event?
