Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. It seems much of the US has been hit with tornado warnings lately. This is an excellent presentation. Good luck with the contest.

An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry Contest. The poem fits the required criteria. The artwork adds to the presentation. The poem describes a scary tornado hitting land. Nothing scares me worse than that. I would take any other kind of storm over a tornado. Good luck in the contest.

We don't don't get a lot of wild weather where we live, but I've experienced enough to know that battening the hatches down is a wise thing to do. Beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

This 5-7-5, Wild Weather, has the proper formatting and send the sounds of alliteration through the work and whips them to the readers like tempest tossed tidbits.

I have to say that the graphic put me right there. Your 575 is a perfect fit. You told the whole story with nineteen words and an image. Starting with a clever alliteration is the icing on the cake.

This is a well written 575 and I enjoyed reading it. It is very good advice, especially when you're dealing with tornadoes. I am just thankful that I've never experienced a tornado nor do I ever wish to. Pat.

Those folks in Oklahoma know exactly what you're talking about in this short poem: the wild weather approaching, the screaming sirens, and the need to swiftly seek shelter before you're blown away. All nicely conveyed in but 17 syllables.

    Yes, I had to wake everyone to be prepared last night, sirens were sounding in the town just south of us & it was headed our way. We were fortunate to be located between two bad areas & just had downpour, wind & a little hail Thanks for your review!

This is a great use of alliteration in your powerful poem. I have never had to worry about tornadoes but this gives a good idea of the experience in a few words. Good luck in the contest.
