The Start of the Storm

The wind whips the trees about,

    A bully showing its strength.

       Fierce and intimidating,

           The start of the storm.

Incredible images of the "bully" storm taking aim at the land below, Francine. Perfect use of the dodoitsu form as well. Excellent writing! Love, Carolyn

Looking at the destruction left by some storms, it does seem like a bully has gone through the neighborhood, Francine. Great analogy in your powerful dodoitsu.

This is excellent. Indeed, this is the feel of the 'start of the storm'. Very good. Love, Deb

Another fine example of a dodoitsu, Francine. Just one item: "it's" in the second line does not need an apostrophe-not a contraction of either "it is" or "it has". Everything else is just fine.
