A Tribute To Leonora G

~ Yolanda was--her name ~ Featuring:) Leonora Galinta From a hell storm, A mighty she-devil took on its form Like a woman scorn ascending from the sea Haiyan whipped across the central Philippines, A deadly typhoon, maximum winds of around 315 Terrorizing the fragile mind before making landfall Hitting with the center eye off from her hostility A merciless turbulence that came and changed everything Like a Massive Storm She comes in as the wise thief of the day and night, In her notorious gust of rage roars in disguise of thunder, With the company of her own knight of darkness, Raze all in a blast of waves wherever her path crosses, Ruining one of the cities down to a devastation in the land “Pearl of the Orient Seas.” A mighty tempest in a woman’s name…. Yet, A disgrace with more than an immortal man in strength, Nature devouring nature itself Including her stewards and stewardesses An unmerciful encroachment, robbing, killing adults and children. Yolanda, so cruel in her evil walloping! A guest left smiling, Engraving echoes of tears, from every single mourn Vain, wicked, and colorless -no other air’s compare The lives she stole, one heart at a time Pouring down the most nauseating rain, The pain is dissenting with everyone-- everywhere. The bully of wind, invading sands of serenity Unknowingly, far beyond your back---------------------------- Everybody will be summoning up more than your strength- :)

Awesome display of applying persona to Nature Linda, Leonora, the metaphors are so heavy with emotional attitude, a truly selfish and cruel demonstration of her power, seemingly aimless, and total, reckless ego in a way. The genius of this write is how unmistakably visceral it becomes, like Nature Herself. Masterpiece. A FAV., art worth studying PD. J.A.B.
