the 3 given words:
rain, reign rein 

nature awakened with harrowing scenes
it had happened before but not as worrying
caused concern then but in more localized routines
recent ones affected many countries with lots of  ruins

rain-lashed coastlines by forceful hurricanes
floods and tornadoes brought misery inland
the heavens disturbed and for a few days reigned
in their uncontrolled and unimpeded domains

how to rein-in the madness from occurring again
divine help to appease Mother Nature was obvious
unwittingly slighted confidence was to be regained
Providence pointed out the wrongs in our choices

  1. So glad you posted to the prompt! Rain-lashed indeed...mother nature's anger unleashed, unreined. How to rein-in the madness........so much to recover from. The human spirit is resilient but yes, there are lessons to be learned.

  3. The damage happens quickly and then the beauty of nature returns. I don't know how to rein in the madness.
