Haiku Chain (5/7/5): Springtime in the Plains (poem) by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on March 10, 2006

Another well written piece and being your neighbor, I know the feeling. It's weird though, I am more afraid of earth-quakes than tornadoes. I guess b/c I am used to them and like you have lived through some terrible times. Though the train like sounds are what get to me horribly.

I'm with Eileen, it's a real gift the way you write about storms, Karla. Love your "wind chases its tail" ku above. Hope it calms down. Think your storms are headed East tonight. Dawn

this is the part of spring that has me nervous as well, in the north, occassionally tornadoes, but more likely it is the danger of Ice storms, beautiful but deadly.

Yep. Spring is in the air, so are tornados. Had one in Arkansas a few hours ago.
