Haiku 33 B

Gray-dark cloud rotates;
	an elephant’s trunk dips down,
	unroofs the farmhouse.

Again, a much better word, I think. Lady Godiva could have used one for certain. Jack

I often think children sense that there are better way to formulate words than do adults. My son had a few that I still use, as did my mother, a farm woman (tomatoes were "maters"). I don't know exactly where you live, but the first tornado possibilities for the season are tonight in Oklahoma, accompanied by ice and snow. Crazy, huh? Jack

Thanks. I wrote it as an extension of 33A. I probably should have published them together. Tornados are predicted for next week where I live. Scary things, they are. Jack
