A sunset [ double Quintain (English and Sicilian) ]

While the red butterfly melts its wings
Within the light red poppy chain, 
The pink gray cloud of the sunset rings
On the gray pink sky the light rays, 
Seemingly thrown in a bloody pain.


The leaving sun abandons the sky
For a few hours and like crickets crawl, 
The whispers of oak leaves mean good bye, 
While the coming night is a dark haul, 
Looking at the moon with a black eye.


The sun and the moon finds synergy, 
Light becomes gray regolith of moon
With helium fusing energy, 
Night makes moon looks like a big balloon
Or like swaddled in a big cocoon.


Much more, like thoughts enveloped in words
Or like souls carrying their divine love, 
With feathers of light like Holy birds, 
In the rain with drops of divine globes, 
Falling down for giving love awards.


Like rain with drops of human spheres, 
Pouring up to Him when they can hook
Or falling right down to disappear, 
Reverse arch getting a killer look, 
Trying to provide fragrance of fear.

Their waves are liquid and drain in sight
Of Earth to meet at infinity.
They are like dark rays in the pure light, 
Light rays are arches for Trinity, 
While dressed in wind seems to be the night.

Stars are candles and night lights them all, 
The colors withdraw in the lost light.
In the black darkness they look so small.
The seeds of dream germinate for fight, 
Becoming real for breaking their wall.

The powerful Japan earthquake

Because one Tectonic plate was sliding under the other plate

 The  powerful Japan  earthquake shifted the earth's axis position

 Deforming it and  that  temblor already had caused Earth to rotate

 Faster than before when Hawaii reached these waves transmission.

                  

This temblor may have affected the length of the Earth’s days

So,each day may be quite two microseconds shorter than before.

Some parts of this country were moved  twelve  feet as scientists say,

The tremors sent a  monster  tsunami which slammed into the shore.

The aftershocks were rapidly continuing  without decreasing in frequency

While a rupture near the boundary between those tectonic plates occured.

Usually, the Pacific plate slowly  moves to  westwards at a very low velocity.

This quake was caused by Pacific and  American plates boundary rupture.

The dissipation of the heat from the mantle was a real source of energy

For Pacific plate thrusting underneath the Japan and  Eurasia plate.

This drive of plate tectonics was possible because of the excess density,

'Cause lithosphere became dense by cooling  until having a solid state.

The boundary between the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates

 Are part of the “Ring of Fire” and runs from south of Fiordland

 Along the line of the Southern Alps, beneath wonderful Cook Strait ,

 Capital of Wellington, and out to sea through the eastern North Island.

 A section of the prehistoric supercontinent Gondwana broke away

 Eighty million years ago comprising a few slithers of land left to drift

Coalescing into a new continent ,Zealandia,under the Southern sun's ray.

When magma heated continental crust above to crack open to form a rift .

Due to seismic activity,  sea levels  temporary fluctuated  looking so glum,

  Zealandia sank beneath sea level  letting New Zealand to be a remnant .

The pressure of opposing tectonic plates caused  the Alpine Fault to come.

 The Southern Alps rose above  the water looking like the moon's crescent.

Earth’s surface is recycled through the volcanic emission  and subduction.

The quake can be caused by a rupture near the boundary between plates.

The causes are high the level of carbone dioxide and sometimes erosion,

But when the rupture is big, it can become a real monstruous Hell's gate.

 The Pacific plate had thrusted underneath Japan and  in a late,

It dipped  beneath Eurasia plate and the earthquake occurred along

 The subduction zone at the interface between those two tectonic plates.

Two thousands people died because the earthquake was very strong.

The Pacific plate moves usually westwards at a very slow  velocity .

The boundary between the Pacific and  Australian Plate runs broadly

 Along  New Zealand ,where another quake occured with a strong ferocity,

While planet is on a one-way warming trend triggered by human activity.

Nature And Sunset

While the red butterfly melts its wings
Within the light in the poppy chain
The pink gray cloud of the sunset rings.
On the gray pink sky the light rays

And throw our love in cold bloody pain.
The leaving sun abandons the sky
For a while and like the crickets crawl,
The whispers of leaves seems to say "Bye!"

The coming night seems to be a haul
Looking at the moon with a black eye.
The sun and the moon finds synergy
Light becomes gray regolith of moon

With helium fusing energy.
The moon looks like a yellow balloon,
Being swaddled in a big cocoon.
Or like our thoughts enveloped in words,

When our souls are surrounded by love
Having white feathers like Holy birds
Sometimes being like globs which rain down
For giving us some divine awards.

Like a rain of love human spheres
Pouring up to Him when they can hook
Or falling back down to disappear.
People start to keep a dying look,

And the air has a fragrance of fear.
Their waves are liquid shocking insight,
Never reaching the infinity.
They are like rays in the pure light.

The light is an arch for Trinity,
While dressed in wind seems to be the night,
Stars are candles and God lights them all.
The colors withdraw in the lost light
.
In the black darkness they look so small.
The seeds of dream germinate for fight
Becoming real for breaking their wall.

The poem is a double Quintain (English and Sicilian)

An Earthquake Struck New Zealand

An earthquake struck New Zealand's city of Christchurch on Tuesday
Burying vehicles under debris and collapsing buildings into the streets.
The police announced a night time curfew and the city was shut down on Wednesday,
The rescuers scrambled to reach beneath the rubble the bleeding residents.

The fact that the quake destroyed the spire of the Cathedral is one of the real tales.
The Pyne Gould Guinness Building really had collapsed and the people were trapped inside.
Meanwhile, all around the city, this powerful earthquake strangely bent some rails,
Moreover, it toppled the tall buildings and all we know is that seventy five people died.

The latest earthquake combination of distance, depth and timing was so deadly,
The streets were strewn with shattered concrete and people were stuck in office towers.
The firefighters climbed extension ladders to pluck people trapped on roofs to safety.
Now the buildings have gone because two aftershocks hit the city within two hours.

There had been pre-World War II buildings badly damaged by the quake on September,
The residents had wandered through streets strewn with debris and piles of concrete.
The further damage to buildings was caused by a strong aftershock in December.
Now there is a real carnage right throughout the city with bodies littering the streets..

The women went into premature labor as a result of the quake, the city was in agony.
The airport was shut down, on impassible roads and in ruins the people began to groan,
After the strike, every child has been walking home trying to find the lost family.
All corners of the city were suffering cuts to the water supply, the power and the phone.

A thirty million tone block of ice sheared off a glacier of New Zealand.
A few minutes after the earthquake had devastated the city groping it in Dark.
The iceberg crashed into a lake shortly after the quake had rocked the South Island,
The iceberg ripped off the Tasman Glacier at Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.
