Tanka Journaling

miles away from
the earthquake and tsunami*
even the barn roof
seems to be listing
towards the unknown


*Refers to the devastating 8.8 earthquake in Chile and the subsequent tsunami warnings that were issued on Feb 27th.  For the latest updates and/or to contribute to the relief effort, I've included a link to the American Red Cross.  (Click on the text in line 2 of the tanka.)


Periodically, I check the links to see that each one is still accessible and accurate.  Since I posted this item, other disaster areas in the US are now listed on the first page.  These include the severe flooding in New Jersey and the Red River in North Dakota and Minnesota.
