Premium Memberno 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

Weatherman

Reincarnated in my next life,
a meteorologist I want to be
with scientific paraphernalia at hand
and land the weatherman's job on TV.
Where I can lie without restraint,
never apologise for rain and cloudy skies, or for
what it is when it ain't sunny with a bright sunrise
which is what I promised the night before.
I can be completely wrong more times than not
and still be paid every day,
as whatever it is I said is soon forgot.
And I can (fox)trot out predictions
such as, 'Snow snow thick thick snow
or, there'll be weather wherever you go
and the winds may or, then again, may not blow.'
Tsusamis, tornadoes and typhoons worry me not one bit,
I laugh in the face of hurricanes
as I'm not the one who will be hit.
I don't hide from deluge, downpour, torrent, flood
which could precipitate a landslide,
they're one and the same to me
as I'll be nowhere near when I'm here safe and dry inside.

“What is the use of a house if you haven`t got a tolerable planet to putt it on.”
Henry David Thoreau
****************************************************************

Global Warming

what have we done
for glaciers to melt so fast
for forest fires to flare so often
for tornadoes to rage so strongly
for droughts to occur oft and anon
for flash floods to recur time and again

Whirlwinds,
Teaching me faith,
Whirlwinds,
Trying to make me fear,
But rather I hear,
My Father in his tool shed,
Making hungry fed,
Making naked clothed,
Reversing status roles,
Saving every soul,
Whirlwinds,
Teaching me faith,
Thoughts race,
As I realize they are a sign of the coming Sun,
Who worships the Son,
Whirlwinds,
Portending of blessings I never thought possible,
Whirlwinds,
Thank you!!!!!

Premium MemberJym Ganahl He Knows It All


I love the snow and beautiful blue skies,
gentle rain and thunderstorms,
winds that blow the fall leaves,
leaving a gold carpet up to my knees.

I don't like duratio winds,
or tornados that suddenly blow in,
earthquakes that take down walls,
or warm fronts that stall.

When flood warnings are posted,
I always wish I had a boat,
the threats are real,
I really hope I float.

Mud slides are wild,
I'm glad that in Ohio,
they aren't that common,
but I loved making mud pies as a child.

Ice storms leave a beautiful scene,
the icicles hanging like daggers,
salt trucks are loaded just in case,
getting it all organized is a race.

A beautiful blue moon,
that we see above,
all the things we've learned,
everyday at noon.

The weather man that taught us all,  
no matter the conditions,
the one accurate reporter,
his name is Jym Ganahl.

My favorite lore of his,
after the first forsythia blooms,
there will be three more snow falls,
an intelligent man to know all this.

I hope he enjoys his retirement,
for many years to come,
we will often think of him, 
when we can't find the sun.

Premium MemberTornadoes are Worse in Texas

Daddy warned us about the Texas twisters
They mow down mountains
Or toss them into another galaxy
Over three hundred miles an hour he said
Because he is from Texas and that is how they talk there

Tornadoes are worse in Texas than anywhere else, guessed my husband.
Yes, and so are the meteorites that drop out of the sky in Texas.
Some are the size of a football stadium; that is how we got the last two
And the spiders there are larger than toasters, my husband guessed.
Spiders here pick up our houses and carry them off on their backs.

My Daddy is super proud of talking like this.
Like a true Texan.

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

The Seasonal family 
of Mother Nature
and Father Time
When it comes to
a family reunion,
they are never far behind.
Winter, Spring, Summer 
and Fall.

With her daughter 
always on the ball.
Mother Nature’s 
first born, Weather.

She is not as predictable 
as we would like to think.
Weather may be 
in the mood for
named hurricanes 
or devastating tornadoes. 
She'll place water spouts 
over the ocean.
She may feel like a little
Wind, Rain, Sleet and Snow.
Weather has been known
to let a blizzard blow.
A drought in the desert 
together goes well
with scorching heat,
and on some occasions 
she has been known 
to give us hail
in the middle of 
a thunderstorm.
Just to let you know
Weather is always 
on the go.

Tornadoes Blessing

Emotions scattered across 
by a tornadoe, that's landed your heart.

The confusion filled grey clouds,
are hovering over questions like why? And how?

Why my heart? How could this be?
The rain pours down the answers.
But you took cover and dodged the key.

Sometimes it takes,
The stinging of the rain
Standing out all alone, 
to comprehend blessings in the pain.

Eventually the burn goes away,
And so will the storm.
Tornadoes leave what's left to live,
that couldn't be destroyed.

Being a scattered mess, versus being completely done with.
Gladly pick up yourself and be thankful for the storms experience.

Look for sunshine even thru grey skies and rain.
Eventually it comes out, to shine happiness over and again.

 Southern Tornadoes, Rain and Mississippi flood 

  

Wind and rain O' what a pain, 

havoc and destruction brought 

Endurance and hope again, 

overcomes what nature has wrought 

  

Second wave brings a slow river flood 

coursing its way down 

Spilling out like hot ,dripping red blood 

staining precious fertile ground 

  

Stand your ground against it all 

nature must be fought 

Rise again to stand proud and tall 

victory earned not bought............--Robert L.

Tornadoes of the Midwest

Tornadoes of the Midwest                Quintain (English) a.b.a.b.b

Multiple tornadoes touchdown in America’s Heartland
Storming in one after another in succession, 
Hitting so hard, Oklahoma City could not withstand
Crushing the buildings to flatten by the wind's transgression
Storms getting stronger and stronger in progression

Twisters were born in the area called tornado-alley
When cold air from the north blowing down into the Midwest 
Collides with the hot air flowing up from the southern valley
Thus giving birth strong twisters, that local residents detest
Families and benevolent societies have to restore the city without rest

Thunderstorms and Tornadoes

My mind tells me things won't be okay
For me until it's gone.
My mind tells my body it's okay
To sleep and hold no Earthly shape.
My mind tells my soul that it's okay
Things will be better off this way.

No more pain,
I wonder if I'll feel myself decay.
No more suffering,
This is the only way.
I'm prepared to do whatever it takes
Even though it will take my life.
It won't be long now.
I begged for you but for this I pray.

The fear sets in; the doubt.
What will my family do?
What will they think?
I can't leave them a note it's too cliche
Thought it's a better scene
Than blood shot eyes and bruise neck ring.

My mind tells me things,
It's ready to let go.
My mind tells my body not to struggle
It's okay to walk into the dark.
My mind tells my soul that it's okay
Things will be better off this way.

No more pain,
I wonder if I'll feel myself decay.
No more suffering,
This is the only way.
I'm prepared to do whatever it takes
Even though it will take my life.
It won't be long now.
I begged for you but for this I pray.

Severe Tornadoes On the Way

Severe Tornadoes on the Way

By Elton Camp

For folks living in the United States Midwest
Nature’s fury may soon put them to the test

The scary weather conditions draw very near
People are being warned what they should fear

The states in extreme danger, the authorities say
From Texas to Minnesota is in great harm’s way

So please expect “a high-end, life threatening event”
Is how the Storm Predictions Center warning went

Expect new words in weather service proclamation
Like “unsurvivable, catastrophic & mass devastation”

In view of what the National Weather Service detected,
These dire words describe accurately what is expected

Because of a combination of events coming together
People in this area should keep a check on the weather
