A Deadly Storm

********************************************************** The winds blow,**********************************the clouds grow. The fear,********************************starts to show! Nobody, knows what*****************************this storm holds. It might bend,******************************but it wont fold. The funnel,****************************starts to mold. The sirens blow,***************************your blood turns cold. The heart,***********************slows! Its time to get low,******************let it go! There is, no end***************to this show. The emotional distress,***********you will undergo. Like a*********killer flow! Praying, from********heavens below. Hoping,********it goes!. Forever,********leaving woes. It intended,********to impose. Life decomposed,********as secrets are exposed. Memories corrode,*******while bonds erode. There's no more,******humble abode. As, the*******houses implode! The neighborhood,*****explodes! Now what waits ahead,*****is a long road. 5/15/2017

Thank you, Eve :) I grew up in Illinois. Fortunately, I have never had to endure the destruction and dismay. But it did take place, quite a few times in near by areas. So I have seen what it can do, with my own eyes.

Jeremy, I know you like criticism. But honestly, the concrete has a frightening, wonderful form, the rhyme is almost monorhyme, which is quite difficult, and for the rest? It is a free verse concrete, and you can express yourself in the best way possible. And so you did. I have nothing negative to say, honestly :)
