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 4-22-2023 Writing Challenge - 'W' Words - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France
