Oh, Scathing Wind/ Pantoum Poem

Oh, Scathing Wind, by many names you go. When breezes change for fury, how you rage! Such merciless omnipotence you show; The ruin you have wrought, no man can gauge. When breezes change for fury, how you rage. A Hound of Hell, you bluster and you wail. The ruin you have wrought, no man can gauge. Relentless, you’re a tempest none can quell. A Hound of Hell, you bluster and you wail. And as you swell, we feel your ire increase. Relentless, you’re a tempest none can quell. We cower as we plead for you to cease! And as you swell, we feel your ire increase. You strike with thunder, snowfall, sleet or dust. We cower as we plead for you to cease. Peace! Be gone -Tornado, Gale or Gust! You strike with thunder, snowfall, sleet or dust. Such merciless omnipotence you show. Peace! Be gone - Tornado, Gale or Gust; Oh, Scathing Wind, by many names you go! For Dr. Ram Metha's "Pantoum Me" Contest
