Premiere Contest WinnerHurricanes - An Acrostic, Shape, Dizain Poem

Hurricanes howling from tropical storms.
                Under watch and warning, everyone waits. 
            Radar shows rotating clouds taking form.
          Rain bands flood roads as downpours inundate. 
         Intensity grows;                             winds accelerate.
           Conditions worsen,  each moment seems tense
            As buildings strain with winds lashing against.  
               No one feels safe; we think, is this the one? 
           Eye at last passes, and once danger ends
    Survivors emerge to check damage done.

That's incredible. I had to rotate my phone to see what you were doing - it had it all squished. Congratulations on the win and an excellent poem

Great descriptive shape acrostic dizain poem - how incredibly creative Jesse! I'm very glad we don't suffer from hurricane force winds often here - gale force is bad enough!:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you. I'm in Florida so it's more of a concern (especially now). The shape part was somewhat of a happy coincidence as I noticed my central line had room for an 'eye'
