Hurricane

As the winds die
after the storm;
broken homes
battered lands;
and bitter faces
surrounded by sticks
and stones hurled
in nature's tantrum.
Terrible tragedy
unfolds.

I would hate to be in such a storm as a hurricane. You described and its aftermath very well in this simple but well crafted poem. Luv, Andrea
