We were under tornado watches earlier
today, and the following poem blew in
with the wind. :) No tornadoes, but
o, what inspiration!
the sky is a livid vivid blue black the scorched torched clouds sheared speared seared by jagged bolts of light the clouds are tortured by shouts of thunder tattered shattered the clouds in pain pulsating rotating animated agitated roiling boiling concentrated into a swirling whirling funnel of uncontrolled fury a maelstrom savaging ravaging raping scraping cartwheeling congealing revealing its true nature look deep ___ __ _ and behold the eye of the storm
(C) Karla Dorman, 2003.

Oh, wow! I like this even better; I don't know HOW you could have improved on this poem, but you DID; and it is even more spectacular in verse AND in form! Looks just like a tornado whirling on the land! Can definitely see the funnel; outstanding visual effects!
BRAVA for your creative genius and your talent; you are THE best poet here in MY opinion!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twisted twin, karen lynn. :D LOL
