Terrorising Disasters

The terrorising sirens panic,
the birds out of the trees.
Dark clouds roam the city,
It starts to rapidly freeze
Wood planks the size of an elephant,
demolish a fragile door.
After this dreadful time,
I'm going to go poor.
It's the end of this monstrosity…
The beach goes awkwardly silent,
the waves stop in a blink of an eye,
The sight of a colossal sized wave
makes grown adults cry,
People stuck in the water are like kittens in a river,
People are frightened, people are scared,
their bones start to quiver.
