There are situations where our only line of defense is writing about it -- storms seem to fit into that category and you do these so well, Karla. Very well done.
Love,
CJ

A chilling write, Karla, and the picture even more daunting! Well done!

God Bless
Love always
Lena

Ah yes Karla you are The Storm Spinner, and this 5-7-5 Format in very nicely done indeed! I am sitting here in the middle of a N'oreaster with some pounding hard driving rain, high winds and bitter temps BUT am glad no twisters are being reported! Glad to see you and read your work again!

"High Risk (5/7/5 Format)"
Love this haiku, furiously powerful along with the graphic depiction.
Capturing that power within your golden quill, what more can I say.
WOW!! Continue with the surges, good for ya'~smile.

You know we love ya'

It's been Wicked Everywhere!
Let us ask for that miracle,
that is near!
God has plans for all he does,
Who knows what he is trying to teach us...
YOur poem brings out the pain and confusion
On the coldest days we are all feeling!
STAY SAFE!
I hope many can still find an answer and shelter!
This haiku is super neat with your golden pen,
I nevere tried these.
I think it takes someone very creative!

Karla, great use of 5/7/5 I have been through enough tornados to know that to survive means you are more lucky than smart. I count myself quite lucky...good write.

Thanks
Dan

Now you know why we ran from America, saying you're welcome to it...
Stay safe KD Spinner..

This makes me think how sometimes the media can be greedy for disaster coverage and often get too close for comfort. People's lives and possesions have been literally blown apart and before you know it, the media are there like vultures. Bless you and stay strong.

Excellent my friend..glad you are okay, this weather thing has been a real roller coaster around the nation, I think that the Lord might be trying to get our attention...maybe He is sending the message that He is still in control??? Nevertheless great write dear friend!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

You are the queen of haiku, Karla & your sister the queen of short story...Ed

excellent offering....glad to say we don't get tornadoes were I live!!

Awesome picture. Small and rare in South Carolina, I drove across town the day that seven touched down near Myrtle Beach. I was glad I was in a old heavy duty van when I saw two spirals forming and come down on either sides of the high way. Far enough away that I got passed before they made it to the ground. I had friends who weren't so lucky. A friend driving through the air base ran and got far enough away from her little jeep before it displaced it down the road.

If small ones can do what they did there, I could not think what it would be like to see that cloud coming down. Lady J

Very intense Karla. Few words but you leave an impression in the heart and eye.

Beautiful flow to this and especially in this format....better still to remain safe and able to write about it to share with others.
Love,
Taylor

The StormSpinner spins quite powerful tales. And glad to hear the Twinks were safe.

Karla,

Glad we made it through the stormy period with no problems, but you are right: it WAS a bit too close for comfort!! YIKES! I will be glad when the stormy season is over; I have HAD it with bad weather already...and NO BASEEMENTS or SHELTERS to go to! CRAZY! We're sittin' ducks, that's what we are: sitting ducks! NOT good!! You capture the energy of the storm very well in this spellbinding write; very well done! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twink, Karen Lynn. :(

Don't let, when the storm's rain is soup, catch you holding a fork.
In other words...duck inside, girl, storms aren't romantic nor a joke.
Be safe.
Georg

You are so creative! I love the idea of a tornado writing. More importantly, I'm glad that you guys are safe.

I pray for all you people who have to face the threat and realization of these storms each year.

Excellent write Karla~! I always pray for you and Karen when I see the weather reports for Texas. This is a bad week for many places.

Love
Eileen

It is wonderful the way that you turn the storms' power and energy into creative expression, Karla. So well done, mon amie. Merci. Amour et paix. Ton ami de la C-B, Canada,

Regis

Karla, glad you are safe!! Was one heck of a storm!!!! Enjoyed your write too!

Be safe,
Karen

Too much rain and cold for these bones of mines. I'm putting an extra blanket on the bed. The weather has been very peculiar these days. Thanks for sharing this with us. High risk, indeed.

Wow this is a great capture.
