Silent Destruction

The violent 'V' Disguised in a black rain coat Dancing the meadow Gone undetected A moment of destruction Silently Creeping Ravishment rising Displacing time, hope, lives, dreams Silent aftermath -------------------------------------------------- With respect to tornados

Abe, I was away for a while but I have returned to a beauty ... there is this movie V for vengeance ... and now my tornado is morphing into mythic things. Love and peace.

The sounds of a tornado are silent untile the core hits. Then the silence returns. Excellent descriptions. Tyler

This is beautiful. Thank you for commenting my poem. No intentions to disqualify any of your poems; the far eastern poetry forms tangle...apologizing. Your poetry is lovely to read. I wish you all the best.

The vivid images forward your thoughts in a creative way in this poem. It's such a sad thing when people lose all they've worked for in a lifetime in a few moments. Thank you for sharing this well-written poem with us. Keep on writing! Karen

Great writing. I love the line "Disguised in a black rain coat" an excellent description. tornadoes are such a powerful force of nature. You captured the truth of them well in this one. Smiles from Lolita

Excellent write, Abe. The cyclones give little warning, but the devastation lingers in the "Silent aftermath."
