Poem #24 - The Earthquake

The earthquake occurred at 2am,
Causing the houses to shake,
Causing the people to awake,
But in House 1,
The crystal chandelier remained hanging from the ceiling.
As the people stood wondering how they would be dealing,
With the possible outside damage,
Or the possible massive carnage.

With hesitation they opened their doors,
And peaked out onto the street floors.
A single tree had tumbled,
As the earth had a few minutes ago rumbled.
This the only incident it became,
And the people decided to plant a tree on the day same,
To make their streets look as before,
When they each morning opened their front door.

The End
