Earthquake

The three words for today are
Jolt–Ribbon–Zeal–

Thomg is the Moderator of Three Word Wednesday

As I sat down in my comfy chair I felt the Jolt of the earthquake, it had a ribbon effect like continuous waves rolling. There was Broken glass everywhere, canned goods all over the floor, shattered windows, smashed antiques. It took a lot of zeal to get this mess cleaned up, zeal I didn't really have today. I wish there was a way we'd know when one was coming like the people in the midwest know when a tornado is on it's way.

Tumblewords: said...: Timely and nicely crafted!; 1/13/2010 8:25 PM
Julie Jordan Scott said...: The irony strikes me - how a word like "jolt" appeared long before the earthquake and here, you blended that syncronicity so brilliantly.

THANK YOU.; 1/14/2010 8:41 AM
Dee Martin said...: Great use of the prompts!; 1/14/2010 9:13 AM
Anya Padyam said...: That is true - it is a scary thing - earth quake, the devastation and the unpredictability of it!

Great piece and quite relevant in the sad event going on ...; 1/14/2010 11:09 AM
Stan Ski said...: A subject in all our minds right now...; 1/14/2010 2:39 PM
Ann (bunnygirl) said...: A timely topic, that's for sure. When people ask how I feel about living in an area prone to hurricanes, I point out that every place has its natural disasters. Mine come with several days' warning.; 1/14/2010 8:28 PM
Anonymous said...: great use of this week's prompt... destruction hurts us all... living in earthquake terrritory and tornado territory one does not always know it is coming... all i know is it is very unsettling to feel the earth shake beneath and the wind blow so hard suddenly outta nowhere... you caught it well...; 1/17/2010 12:43 PM
