The sky becomes synonymous with grey, signifying a storm is on its way. And a sullied sun swiftly slips away; allowing shadows to overcome day, and clouds to release droplets straightaway. Thunder echoes across purple-bruised skies as lightning strikes cause drops to vaporize. And a deluge descends to claim its prize; while whirling winds wail, and all nature cries. Treetops get tossed and bullied by each gust as brisk breezes suddenly feel robust; the change is swift; there's no time to adjust. Broken by a murmured mantra of sound; silence acquiesces as raindrops pound. And pellets of ice get viciously hurled! Everything is in scattered disarray, as twisters start to materialize. Hail and rain meld into an icy crust; that turns the streets into a battleground, and neighborhoods into a netherworld.

Emile, my friend, this honors every beginning thunderstorm and beginning tornado I have experienced and there have been several. I like these lines the best "Tree tops are tossed and bullied by each gust as bold breezes suddenly feel robust, it happens swiftly, no time to adjust." for this is so the truth. Have a Happy New Year my friend. I trust Christmas for you was terrific. Like this Minuanetta.
