earthquake: earth science poem

Earthquake

Rattle rumble,
Shook and shake,
Tremble trouble,
An earthquake!
richter scale
Beneath the Earth,
Nothing waits,
Strikes and slips,
Tectonic plates...
Pushing grinding,
Will it halt?
What will happen,
To the fault?
Rattle rumble,
Shook and shake,
Tremble trouble,
An earthquake!
