Wrathful trilogy:
Typhoons, cyclones, hurricanes

* Super Typhoon Mangkhut, the strongest storm of the year, unleashed gusts up
to 200 mph while hurricane Florence brought 40 inches of rain. CNN.
I expected a day of sunshine,
sit outside and sip some wine;
February gave us some warm days,
we thought spring wouldn't have come for a while...
the bakery below has the scent of bread that delights,
the laundry next door smells like waving clothes on lines!
Wrathful March disappoints everyone, it's a month so insane;
the saddened kids wanted tons of fluffy snow, not rain or hail;
the snowman's nose would have had a carrot dropped by a quail,
two big blueberries for his small eyes soon to be eaten by ravens,
two small slices of red watermelon for his frozen and pinkish lips...
hooray! they'd have been ready to pull him down the steep lane!
stalking the heavens
like a curse she arrives,
rolling in silent in flashes
at first, leaping across the
stratosphere, gathering speed,
finding her voice; lashing out!
violently, with vengeance on her
mind! the rain will soon follow
in torrents of weeping angels,
that have gathered in protest,
Mother Nature doesn't care.

A double image of furiousness
