Dune Perdue

Updraft lifts limbs, leaves scurry like mice exposed Mother Nature shakes shorebreak, incline imposed Gnaws at sand buried tree toes gnarled, spit polished Hourglass chamber sugar dwindle, dunes demolished Churning chant casts a melancholy spell, people powerless Moan of manic Manager’s anger depicts dreary dourness Man on the Moon cheese puff cheeks chew mushy monsoon Rain runs through town, to be trapped by typhoon Form of parading peacock, pigment stripped, fan feathers vibrate Look - at - Me Leuca’s lazy turns spur first hurl of weather irate Fancy fowl foxtrot gathers gusts in her skirt skitter spin White witch whips wind, water waltz whirls, wild chagrin Hummingbird hurricane hovers over ocean, dizzily dragged to occult Sect stretches elastic strap string - tied to tornado’s tumult Brash as a bastard coconut afloat on Baltic Sea, bashes calm ground Leuca retracts tail regal, regrettably her force flung coast bound Cranky current circus tent cyclone, lions leap out of hoops Lost roof iron roams rogue across roads while Princess Leuca loops Serene above storm, she surveys scatter, stricken war worn love lorn Tree tremors drip torrid toll, feet attach fresh turf, in readiness reborn 12th March Thankfully only a tropical low hit coast of Oz
