Tornado

From a distance,
I witnessed death,
In the making,
Like a scene,
From Dante's inferno.

A black plume spirals,
Earth bound,
From darkening heavens,
Along the horizon of the death.

A monster, from the sulfuric depths,
Of the bottomless pit,
Unleashed,
From the abyss.

From afar, its an awesome,
Display, of nature's powers,
In a morbid sense,
There is beauty,
Within, the birth of a tornado.

Yes William, there is such great beauty in nature, even when it is very dangerous. But the beauty stops and terror begins if we get caught up in it. Bill;

The human vortex is a powerful thing. The vortex of nature is another mystery that is a wonderful phenomenan as well. Your poem is a tremendous asset to this rotating mystery. I always admire your verse.

Love and peace,
Susan

Great topic - great writing! I've only seen film reportage of tornadoes, but even on the screen they awe.

William,
I am a great fan of extreme weather, though revere and awe might put it more clearly, I do adore a grand electric storm! I I saw only once in Texas sheet lightning, I was mesmerized!
I salute your eye keen in observance, as I applaud as well your abilty to capture it in words.
