Happy subtropical cyclone 
Never forget semi tropical
 Cyclones 
Sub tropical tornado wild 
Miles down 
Down, down, down pitch 
Darkness wall
Weather swamps
Squalls
Sails or gale streams screams
See the stormy areas
So does it flash at night
Bright lightning bolts
Such a jolt
Flashes spins 
Squirrels skips and falters
Swatters wins 
Torrent waves spring

Scalding sand on beach

Take frequent showers
Florida lifestyle envied
Northerners don’t know

Blazing heat last months
Visits to the Sunshine State
Best planned in winter
