tornado siren,
even the stars take shelter

    Just last night, on the Create channel, I watched a stormchaser / photographer as they chased a tornado and took breath-taking pictures, tornado sirens wailing in the audio, so this brought vivid images! I like that you involved the absence of the stars…

    I love the form of this (as well as the imagery). 5-7-…and the last line (if it were a traditional haiku) got swept away by the wind.

    Yes! The tornado takes everything from us, even the forevermore stars! Thank you for this posting.

    Hi Anthony,

    Effectively frightening poem in just two lines.
