Tornado

By Nicole GravellPellerino

Dark grey clouds
swiftly roll in
lighting flashes, illuminating the sky
and violently striking the earth
and loud thunder
rumbles not far behind

A violent rotating column of air
choreographed by the dancing wind
spins and swirls
around the eye of the storm
dissolving earth into dust
causing chaos wherever it goes

an unpredictable and deadly vortex
a hurling grey shell if destruction
trashing everything in its path
a perfect storm, a deadly natural weapon
destroying lives in a matter of seconds
