When The Monster Came To Eat

I lay there asleep
as sound as a baby.
No worries in the world
no nothing, no maybes.
Next thing I knew,
the ground ripped open beneath my feet.
Thats when I knew,
the monster had come to eat.
My brother woke up
with a scream and a cry.
That treacherous night
no one should ever leave behind.
No love lost now
not yet, not how.
But I’ll never forget
the night the monster came to eat.

This poem is about September 4 2010 Canterbury Earthquake which I was in.

  1. This is such an amazing poem Zara. I really like the mystery behind it, not saying directly that it was an earthquake. The great use of words you have used and rhyming you have weaved in throughout your poem sounds truly great. This poem is realy good Zara, please write some more :)
