This is a first attempt at a form of Haiku called a Renga. The format is 5-7-5 / 7-7 / 5-7-5 / 7-7 / 5-7-5 / 7-7 / 5-7-5 / 7-7 / 5-7-5 / 7-7. Not sure if they're intended to rhyme. Hope it works...
Mega thrust earthquake / Early morning violent shake / Victims not awake
Oceanic sea floor break / Seismographic second take
Massive tidal wake / Uncertainty, real or fake? / Prewarning mistake
Indonesian fear outbreak / Sri Lankan shores lie in wake
CNN newsbreak / Quarter million lives at stake / Viewer breath intake?
Misery, widespread heartache / Outcome bleak, future opaque
Please God don't forsake / Those caught in Tsunami's wake / Help for Heaven's sake
Ease suffering and heartbreak / No more lives destruction take.
All asked to partake / In a Worldwide mourning wake / For disaster's sake.
Retrospective take / In aftermath's five-year wake / Faith it did not take.
