Dune Perdue

    Updraft lifts limbs, leaves scurry like mice exposed
    Mother Nature shakes shorebreak, incline imposed
    Gnaws at sand buried tree toes gnarled, spit polished 
    Hourglass chamber sugar dwindle, dunes demolished


    Churning chant casts a melancholy spell, people powerless 
    Moan of manic Manager’s anger depicts dreary dourness
    Man on the Moon cheese puff cheeks chew mushy monsoon
    Rain runs through town, to be trapped by typhoon


    Form of parading peacock, pigment stripped, fan feathers vibrate
    Look - at - Me Leuca’s lazy turns spur first hurl of weather irate
    Fancy fowl foxtrot gathers gusts in her skirt skitter spin
    White witch whips wind, water waltz whirls, wild chagrin


    Hummingbird hurricane hovers over ocean, dizzily dragged to occult 
    Sect stretches elastic strap string - tied to tornado’s tumult
    Brash as a bastard coconut afloat on Baltic Sea, bashes calm ground 
    Leuca retracts tail regal, regrettably her force flung coast bound

    
    Cranky current circus tent cyclone, lions leap out of hoops 
    Lost roof iron roams rogue across roads while Princess Leuca loops
    Serene above storm, she surveys scatter, stricken war worn love lorn
    Tree tremors drip torrid toll, feet attach fresh turf, in readiness reborn










                12th March 

     Thankfully only a tropical low 
              hit coast of Oz
