I agree. A hurricane should not be the factor in peoples lives which make them appreciate what they have.

Also, one CAN be happy without "God in their hearts." That is the poor message that all religious advocates throw out- Without God, your life is lived poorly- and that is exactly how your message flopped out. It takes a lot of gullability to believe in something that is not needed. You can find happiness within yourself, you do not need a supreme being ruling your life.

Anarchy of the soul is the truest form of freedom.

It's a good poem to get ppl's hopes up,it's well written, nice to read
can't agree with the last 2 lines, but I can respect everyone's faith
well done, keep it up :))

I think you expressed yourself very clearly with this. The imagery was very stark and poignant

Porches leading to no houses

that line really got me.
Not sure where I stand on the whole God message but I think the added message at he end sums it up well. Perhaps the real tragedy is that it takes something like this for people to truly pull together.

This was really good.. it made me think, flowed well, and used great descriptions.. keep up the excellent work! 5/5

This poem really caught my attention and pulled me in. I had kind of forgotten about what happened last year, but i know i shouldnt, no one should. It was a horrible thing for all of those peopel to go through, and i thank god that so many people survived and that i have never been in that kind of situation. You really captured this subject beautifully, great work.

Oh wow...this is excellent...way better than the poem i wrote about hurricane katrina...i truly loved it...it made me think...it had great imagery and details...5/5.

Very interesting topic for a poem, and it'll be nice in years to come to have your historical and emotional response to this tragedy. Great job.

Very good poem, It is sad to think we have to experience a tragedy to appreciate God, and each other. We should only have to see an ocean,a sunset,a mountain or a baby to know how much he has given us. Thank you for reading my poems and commenting
I will always do the same.

I really like your poem. The theme of it is really great.
