Acrostic Poem

My Acrostic Poem about the Christchurch Earthquake. Enjoy :)

Cracks everywhere
Hurt people everywhere
Risky
Injured people
State of emergency
Tumbling buildings everywhere
Collapsing buildings
Homeless people everywhere
Unstable things everywhere.
Ruined City
Cathedral being destroyed
Hot tempered families

Expensive repairs
Aftershocks
Rumbling sounds
Twisted train tracks
Hiding away
Quakes you can’t escape
Unhappy people calling the insurance company
Angry people everywhere
Kind people willing to help clean up
Earthquakes
