Listen to poem:

Hurricane Milton

Menacing winds howl through the fragile trees,
In shadows, rain slashes windows like a whip,
Lightning cracks—each flash a brief, jagged tease,
Thunder roars, shaking the earth with its grip.

Outside, the storm batters everything in sight,
Nerves stretch thin as we brace through the night.
