That's the beauty of this site; I always learn something new and what a wonderful poem to learn from; excellent rhyming with superb flow; reminds of all the tornadoes/hurricanes we face every season; thanks for sharing.

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you. I spent half the morning University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Center (UAMS) for an MRI. What was really wrong, you have to walk 37 miles to get the door, or so it seems, and another 42 to get to the MRI place. To make matters worse, I got lost going back to the car and went up and down and up and down, everyone giving a different direction. I finally winged it and finally found my car. Other than that, it was a great day. LOL

LOL = I can relate to that. I walk a lot when I go to Moffit too

Hi Yvonne, great description and alliteration in this poem. I enjoyed this poem and it reminded me a little of the Garth Brooks song, The Thunder Rolled.

Comment from doggymad
Great write my friend. Reminds me of a few storms that we had here with no warning.
You have personified the gale and the lightening and the destruction they caused.
I quite like the format too

I'm so glad you like it. You must try one. I like a good thunder-boomer as long as it doesn't hurt anything or knock out the power.
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
Wow this one flowed of all the ones that I have read so far. The storm passing and blue skies ahead. Nicely done, I have never tried a duo-rhyme before but you made it seem effortlessly

Thank you for those wonderful remarks. Try one. It's not as hard as it looks.
Comment from Mark Valentine
I love the form - the duorhyme is a nice compromise for those who might find monorhyme too tedious. Your iambic tetrameter is carried flawlessly throghout the poem. Nice use of alliteration. I like that you used gray background - it accentuated the dark and violent feel of the storm you were describing. It's clear that a lot of thought went into this.

Comment from Pantygynt
I think you have made an excellent job of what I originally saw as a piece of "form-for-form's-sake". The content forms an introduction and conclusion containing the monorhyming bulk of the piece in a kind of verbal parenthesis. The monorhyme allows event to be stacked upon event and the threat grows throughout the section.
I think you have done really well with this, at first sight, un-prepossessing form.

Comment from judiverse
This moves so beautifully, and the rhyme is great. You did a fine job of following the format. You choose your words well to describe the severity of the storm. The alliterative sound of ripped and rammed works well, and the verbs really convey the destruction of the storm. Glad there were blue skies at the end. judi
