"tornado"
A strong stormy wind gust,
blew across the front lawn,
raising swirls of dust,
at the break of dawn,
Darkening clouds formed above,
creating lightning flashes,
with loud soundings of,
ear piercing thunder clashes!
Raindrops dancing all around,
soon turned to hail and sleeting,
tornado warnings...one touched down!
the radio kept repeating!
Seek out shelter everyone!
the weather is severe!
find safety 'til all danger's gone!
when stormy skies are clear!
The wind then blew so hard and strong!
hurling hail, sleet and rain!
the tornado came, then was gone!
having sounded like a freight train,
The warning received gave way,
helping ones to get prepared,
thereafter was heard the radio say:
"Slight wind damage, but life was spared!!
