The image is of a wall cloud to the east of where I live, taken last year, from inside a local restaurant.

Poem Artwork


The storms missed here - formed to the
east, to the south, getting worse
as they moved to the northeast:
high risk of severe weather
in the Tennessee Valley.
Memphis.  Jackson.  Other towns
in the path of the fury
funneling down from the clouds.
Who else will hear the winds scream
before the night is over?

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (2/5)

Karla,
I'm suddenly glad I live in New Hampshire! This one scares me a little. I love to see these storms on film but I'd be nervous in person. Well done!

I love your photos, Karla. The say as much if not more than you poems. I am intrigued by the weather and its many moods and passionate embrace of the earth during storms. Good effort.

Your picture scared me silly, I thought that those six lights in the sky were UFOs ready to take over Tennessee (not that they don't deserve it)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A reality-enforcing write for those who take Mother Nature for granted. At 4a, the winds have only started to moan here. Our time is coming. Rebecca

You have surely captured the reason why severe storms are tracked by so many, always in the hopes of a high rate of survival......

Be always safe,
Karen

THAT. is. a. NASty. Looking. Cloud!! YIKES!! Funnel City!! NOT good! And definitely NOT good for the Southland; they are in my prayers as they "weather the storm". Very intense capture of the (early) start of severe weather season; what will the rest of it hold?? I am almost too afraid to ask, or find out!! GAD!! Very well penned, Karla; brava!

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