*** Poem Release ***
*** Swirling
Wind ***
by 'Barry R. Long'
ratepayers were warned
in this country town
a twister is coming, so we better batten
down
the swirling wind spiraling high on it's course
to
deliver a shining example of natures force
increasing in
intensity as it travels ever closer
it's more powerful than
train or a giant dozer
just for a warm up it quickly touches
ground
ripping off roofs and throwing cars around
a small
taste of what this tempest has in store
reaches a volume and
pitch of a gigantic roar
warmed up and primed and up to full
charge
letting it loose, the devastation would be large
ripping
and tearing the town wherever it goes
which direction it will
take no one ever knows
playing with trucks and buses like
tinker toys
releasing it's anger while this twister destroys
it
took ten minutes to pass the town's gates
now there's no town,
and no need for rates
