Six-Word Couplet Series

Tornado Destruction the tornado came at first tame Wind Whirling the wind strong blowing things along Trees Blowing the trees bending branches far sending Houses Gone many homes destroyed leaving a void Electricity None no electric power a shattered tower Food Spoiled all gone bad that is sad _______________________ September 24, 2018 Poetry/Six-Word Couplet Series Copyright Protected, ID 18-1064-656-01 All Rights Reserved.

Yikes. If that is your city, no wonder the power was out. Best of luck in the contest with these live inspired couplets.

Hi Jessie, thanks for visiting, yes this is my city of Ottawa Canada and this picture is not even the worst of the destruction, to see the flattened homes and homes with roofs ripped off, trees sticking out of them and the mighty maples and other trees hundreds of years old ripped out of the ground is heartbreaking.
