Inundated

… swamped by a deluge

By Tim GracePublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Overwhelmed. Swamped by a deluge

of cascading abundance.

Engulfed. Swallowed by a huge

and raging expanse

of turmoil. A torrent revealing

its potential; becoming a backwash

of watermarked impressions. Dealing

at depth with the squish and squash

of squelching structures. Soddenly

absorbed: sipped, dipped, flipped

and ripped - agitated into strewn debris

that’s all about a carcass stripped.

. Sodden and soaked - saturated.

. Clogged and choked - inundated.

About the Creator

Tim Grace

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
