Tornado Poems | Examples

My heart still hangs in my mouth

its whimper sounds like a whisper, it slips as it slithers away
the loud fear it left on my mind still spins my spine
i run, forgetting my heart is still hanging in my mouth~
it pounds like a tornado blowing through my veins
the ricochets of its anger shudder even my tiniest nerves
our nights and days will never cross paths again.

Premium Member A Mother's Love, A Tornado's Embrace

Your love, Mom, is like a storm,
A Mother's Love, A Tornado's Embrace

A whirlwind, fierce and far from norm.
It sweeps through my life with tender rage,
A force of nature, stage by stage.
It spins with care, a vortex deep,
A tempest wild, yet soft to keep.
Your arms, like winds, encircle tight,
To shield me, guard me, through darkest night.
The thunder roars, your voice of might,
To shatter my fears, bring back the light.
In chaos born, you find your grace,
A calming eye in my life's fast race.
Like rooftops torn and skies that bend,
Your love reshapes but doesn’t end.
No matter wreckage is in its path,
You clear, you heal, escape no wrath.
For in your fury lies your care,
A passion no one can quite compare.
A storm that builds, a storm that stays,
Your love, Mom, an eternal blaze.

Premium Member dogs and cats during a tornado

When dogs and cats are flung about
Taken high in the sky inside a tornado funnel
Do they find a new owner to lay around with?
Are they ever recovered? Does anyone know?

blowing wind has stopped
my anxiety is high

Premium Member Tornado is an Enraged Volatile Angry Woman

Tornado is an enraged volatile angry woman
Joplin never saw her coming; until she was upon them
Her path was a mile wide and twenty miles long
Was she seeking revenge? Angry with all humans?
We will never know, but she did unbelievable damage.

Joplin, Missouri lost many lives that day.
Four thousand homes were destroyed.
I cannot fathom the horror of the aftermath.
One of their hospitals was annihilated


Tornado is an enraged volatile angry woman.
She comes in fast and hard, and she maims and kills.
A warrior, destroyer, slayer.

Premium Member Joplin EF5

The Joplin EF5 blew into Joplin Missouri the evening of May 22, 2011
Before this tornado had eaten its fill, 158 people went to heaven.
This EF5 was a mile wide; she was on the ground for over twenty miles.
No one was safe; there was a lot of terror, and few smiles.

Damaging four thousand homes, injuring over eleven hundred people.
Destroying the hospital, and eight churches, leaving not a steeple.
The costliest single tornado in US history, says a reference book.
Her death toll was the highest since 1947 if you want to take a look.

The Joplin EF5 was the first EF5 tornado since 1947, before I was alive.
I cannot envision the horror of this catastrophe, terrified of every EF5.


Mid-age and Crazy

The term "procreate" 
refers to the act of reproducing,
 meaning to have children or
 offspring. If you are middle-aged
 and wish to procreate, it means 
you desire to have children later in life,
 which may present some unique 
challenges and considerations. 
While it's possible to have children
 later in life, fertility can naturally
 decline, particularly in women,
 as they get older. 
Here's a more detailed  look:

as well as their l

 The human intellect itself has
 evolved to contribute 
to reproductive success.

Premium Member Tornado Jim Competes with his Sister

Tornado Jim was an unruly evil F-5.
He barely left anyone alive.
Threw cattle and tractors into the air.
Crushed combines and backhoes; he did not care.

Gloated that he had destroyed more farms than his sis.
She gave him a mean finger and snarled with a hiss.
Next time she destroyed, she vowed to be worse than him.
She was always in competition with Tornado Jim.

Premium Member Tornado Warning



Skies shine a strange green, enchanted light
Storm clouds frown, grumble, and complain
Masculine forces flex, anticipating a frantic fight
Eerie scents, wicked winds, atmospheric strain 
Energetic leaves flip upside-down, signaling their plight
Crackling lightning strikes, releasing pent up pain

Premium Member How to Tame a Tornado: How to Halt a Hurricane

The possibilities are endless
With every new scientific discovery.
There is inspiration to invent devices
That improve quality of life
And save lives in the process.

Spin with the wave and slow it down
With drones and electromagnetism.
Entropy and vacuums.
Spin with the wave, then slow it down
With science and ingenuity.

Catch the wind and spin, hook in
The eye of the storm is calm
Harness the power of the gods
Right there in our palms

Think of the all the lives you'll save
All the kids that won't meet Oz
If only we could stop 
Take time to ponder the devastating
Disastrous whirlwinds of the gods

Drop a probe down the eye
Let it spin, let it fly
Revolutionize the times
With the greatest challenge of all
Saving lives, having fun with everything resolved.

 Violently rotating column of air
Tornado terrifying big storm
One   natural   phenomenon
That leaves much devastation
In its wide path of fury
Like   many   people
With quick tempers
Who leave tears

Introduced by hail.

windblown giant

blazing a sharp path

kicking away cars

pure devastation

hiding in culvert
my face in wet claylike mud
