Premium Member no fear of tornadoes

I live in kansas
without fear of tornadoes
in underground house

she might take my roof
but I am twenty feet down
grounded in cement

About Water

Water goes down to lower places
Water flows in curves
Water cleanses

In tornadoes, tsunamis and storms
Water is not water
Then what is it?

Premium Member Fury

Fury
powers
tornadoes of emotions,
twisting mind and soul
into 
forces of ugliness,
which destroys the 
existence of 
ourselves

Memorial Day 
mother nature’s reckoning 
is gain worth such loss
de-constructing life with limb
Collision course toward ourselves

Cat

Colorful coat leaving
Cursed once, but poignantly
Cherished fur tornadoes
Copiously on my
Couch seat while you snuggle
Closely as your thin frame
Captures love for what’s next

Premium Member prime time tv

street fights and car wrecks
fires tornadoes and police actions
westerns and witches
tv dramas
lots of orphans
death and despair
murders and attacks
not so much happiness
on prime time TV

New Forecast

Dark clouds spins around
Ice boulders, trees bent to pray
Tornadoes deafen

A scrap of house strewn
The silence sleeps near a child
The storms aftermath

A tiger growling
In the circus' rope draped sky
Bad weather today

Premium Member Nature's Wrath

Tornadoes revolving
spinning in circles
helter skelter


Flying through the air
forceful gale
trapeze artist

Whirlwind whips
rotating spiral
tumbleweeds roll

Scattered debris
broken pieces
nature's images
Form: Haiku

Nature the Destroyer

Raging tornadoes
devastate the entire land
destroying cities

Raging huricanes
plundering oceans and land
natures agony

Tsunami monster
Indian Ocean graveyard
deadly disaster

Devil's Breath

Tempests of
inclemency 
Cyclones filled
with pain
Tornadoes come
and go at will
With nothing
to remain

Caught inside
their whirlwind
Whose spin to wreak
and hurl
A demon vortex
roaming wild
Destruction
— to unfurl

Premium Member July In the South

This July Caught my eye With some nice rain Not one hundred here I'm left somewhat afraid What does tomorrow hold, friend Will there be some variety Will the heat rise, tornadoes surprise "Fear not," God said, " I've got total control".

Ruby Slippers

These tornadoes that shred me,
twirled on
knowing you’d one day
haunt my ruin;
use my mind for a peephole,
step lightly over my hill.
Blond curls a choreography
of sunlight and days undone.
Slim legs binding blood
to a wounded feline hanker
and a tin thin regret

Only Some of Me

Joan
Friendly, dreamer, artistic, witty
Daughter of: Irene
Lover of: music, butterflies, true friends
Who feels: passion, happy (sometimes blue), driven
Who fears: heights, tornadoes, hatred
Who would like to see: a better economy, peace, honesty

Premium Member Storms Full of Thunder

We like to think Earth
is a gentle mother
giving us loving gifts
like sunshine and flowers,
fields of golden wheat
and soft green meadows,
but suddenly,
like an abuser, her love
flips into anger,
sending us storms 
full of thunder and terrible
tumultuous tornadoes.

Premium Member she looks dangerously normal

She looks unassuming, dangerously normal
Least we forget she is a maniacal author
There are tornadoes and earthquakes in her mind
She keeps them quiet when we are around
But we know they are there when her thoughts meet paper
She gives me a bit of a smile, and I hear a monsoon coming

Premium Member Frazzled

Those tornadoes hanging in the air,
tomorrow’s forecast is bedazzled.
Suppose a path begins to unfold,
shadows fading take away frazzled.

Decked out and all covered in baubles,
expect fair winds and a new blessing.
Checked the daily report and its fine,
perfect to de-escalate stressing.

Black Tornadoes

Black tornadoes, destroy
Everything, in their path
Not bothering to stick around
for the aftermath
It's like Us, in their Misery, they
wish to give a bath
Just to break Us, and tear Our
hearts in half
As if this signature hit, is some
sort of autograph
Leaving behind this stillness and
Cold draft

Restless Heart

A river may babble
The wind may sigh
A cloud may rumble
		Are they any more at peace than I?

Oceans may swell
Volcanoes erupt
And a dam can burst
		Do their hearts stop as abrupt?

Tornadoes may destroy
Lightning strikes from the sky
And an earthquake can ruin all:
		Do they hurt any more than I?

Premium Member Man Outmanned

Life beats him down
  Man springs up again
History assures him: Tyranny will triumph
  Man outmanned rises up against evil

Diseases plague him endlessly
  Eliminate one; two more appear

Tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones 
  Destroy his homes, his cities, his storehouses
Resolute, he rebuilds them---over and over again...

Premium Member Never Say Never

one must never say never
a powerful word
that leaves no room for could be
for what we believe our earth's nature forgets
and sends whirling tornadoes and hurricanes
impossible to escape
she cancels our firm never
making us take notice of how vulnerable we are
when fate includes those forces
often beyond our control

Premium Member Those Who Fly Alone

Those who fly alone
Can survive tornadoes and floods
Leaning on others is not their go-to.

Lone wolves
Become savvy and wise
Learning more than most

Those who go it alone
Can survive other’s wrath
Crawl into ditches or pitch a willow lean-to

We are our own best teacher
Experience is our playground
Survival is our work

Within the Words

Sound waves bounce
off of the furthest stars,
bent and grotesque--

like swirling tornadoes.

I have heard the sounds
coming to me like music
much bigger than the sky
which we all see above us.

Chaos is not music...

It is not what I've come here for.
My heartbeat is within the words,
while my song bounces off the door.
