Stone Soup

The storm stirred…having ingredients our neighbors provided. Stolen goods, the storm stashed in its wings, and headed East. The storm boiled in Mississippi - all baby boomers spelled that state voraciously m-i-ss-i-ss-i-pp-i…the eye of the storm, calm, while the raptor tore apart lives. The weeping of dark clouds over smithereens. The storm with a long wooden handle, stirring hail and adding more broth. No one cared for this stone soup.
neighborly stone soup NO THANK YOU emphatically Bless your heart tongue goads 3/26/2023
From wikipedia: Stone Soup is a European folk story in which hungry strangers convince the people of a town to each share a small amount of their food in order to make a meal that everyone enjoys, and exists as a moral regarding the value of sharing. Prayers for those affected by this terrible storm!

I am in agreement with Daniel it does not destroy intentionally, but its causes harm, so pray for the people, wildlife and plant life that have been in its grip that they may be full restored to the same sustenance they all enjoyed before . Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

I’ve always wondered when nature is lashing out, does she thinks she’s playing or she knows she’s destroying!? Stay safe and bless my poetess friend.

The revealing of your tender heart Kim. Natures fury does not discriminate and carries no malice but brings total devastation. Prayers for all in her wake.
