The Challenger’s Word: Typhoon

In Taiwan, I had the chance to experience not only one but multiple tropical storms called typhoon. Although the fierce power of nature raged outside, my roommate and I could deepen our young friendship during the storms, eventually become BROommates. This is for you, Jacek.

A Typhoon Poem

By Gregor

---

---

Clouds conjured the present darkness’ sway.
The ceiling of cloudy concrete in dark grey
Densely blocking every celestial healing ray
Swallowing all signs whether it’s night or day.

---

Houses shake and bend to a frightening degree
Unplugged by nature’s forces on the street lays a tree.
Like a howling monster from an old memory
Stormy winds rage widely of all obstacles free.

---

The city’s surface has got hidden under a lake
As continuous showers all dry spots overtake.
The dripping and dropping keep millions awake
For the endless rainy stream puts safety at stake.

---

But you and me, we eat instant noodles without a spoon
In front of the Laptop wrapped in a blanket cocoon.
It does not matter whether the storm will end soon,
We know how to spend time in Dorm VI during a typhoon.
