The Long and Short of it


The prompt this week at Verse First is The Long and Short of it:


say what you must in the quickest and simplest way possible.

and that means a haiku


Nature's fury photo from TV one news video


Mother Earth angry 
She's warning us to behave
Worst storm in decades

The storm was scary
Thundering winds lashing rain
Carnage everywhere


(see my post on my photo blog for more details - worst storm in 45 years hits Wellington with winds upto 200kmph)

  2. When a child errs , a mother scold, punishes depending upon the intensity of the mistake.Likewise humans play with environment and Mother Nature has to lash her fury.
