Joseph May Poet Free verse

Wind

A wicked wind with haunting howls
     Make trees tremble as leaves leave limbs
  A sinister sky turns the day dark
    As lightning lights up the sky with furious flashes
  We wait nervously for it to die down
     As the raucous roar of thunder tells the stormy story
 Waves whip around in the savage sea
     As ships surrender to its merciless might
 The vicious violence make them swiftly sink
     As nature's deadly destructive power prevails
