Great job with your Wizard of Oz themed Nonet, Terry. You kept a clean graduated edge too which is needed for a proper Nonet. Congratulations on your ribbon. Sending you my best today as always.

This Nonet paints a very realistic picture of a Twister and the impact it can have as it barrels down on the earth- excellent choice of language here' wrapping plains in a dusty shroud.'

Nicely done! Your poem does a wonderful job of sharing the destructive force of a tornado. Your word choices are perfect! What stood out to me was "louring cloud" and the tornado's "dusty shroud". Add to that "swirling," "eclipsing," and "sucking up" just worked so well. Add to that the abrupt line breaks and the way you structured the poem to look like a tornado. Perfect!

Good title for this Nonet.
Each line has required number of syllables.
Good enjambment as your visual reads smoothly from line to line.
Vivid imagery.
Effective use of rhyme.
