Haiku Horizons prompt: Flood.
Flood
The ice caps will melt.
But why should I be worried?
I live on a hill.
◊
“We will be flooded!”
“They will breed like the rabbits!”
“You must be afraid!”
Muslim tsunami.
The fear of ignorant folk
Who cannot do maths.
◊
It began to rain—
They came aboard two by two.
Forty days and nights.
A lot of water
To cover all of the land.
Where did it all go?
