Another fine poem, Gypsy, and the scenario you describe sounds like one of my childhood fears com to pass----of course it wouldn't be much different now

Natural disasters do happen, and it seems, often, that the children are struck hardest. Maybe we focus on them because they're so young. This is another wonder presentation and poem.

That would be scary for anyone no matter the age. But you move the reader's compassion by setting the scene of the school with young kindergarteners and the visual of little backpacks floating away.

The images of this Haiku pair are very striking, and compliment the words very well. The power and destruction left in the wake of a storm is a very horrifying thing to see. The small floating bag packs attest to the fact that storms do not discriminate, anything in its path must capitulate.

frighten children <- i think this should be past tense (frightened children hear roaring...)

a great haiku suite - like the image of the little backpacks floating by
nice imagery and smooth flow

thank you for sharing!
shelley :)

A quite terrifying scene dramatically expanded upon in these haikus and depicted in the visual. However, I would just suggest 2 edits: frighten(ed) and raging waves (destroy -without the 's'). Thanks for sharing, Gypsy. Debbie

Yes the mighty ocean is a nurtured of life and yet can be a destroyer of life, perhaps it gets angry with the mariner who dares to venture into its domain, couldn't blame it, beautifully written, blessings Roy
