Vicious clouds gather
A dark funnel spirals down
Thunder roars death kneel.
A wonderful haiku. Tornado created with beautiful words. Loved reading it.
A tornado destroyed two houses on the far side of a farm field, then it lifted itself over the field and swirled OVER MY APARTMENT BUILDING. My life and possessions were spared, others not so lucky. Your line says it all: LIFE TURNS UPSIDE DOWN.
Thank you so much Kelly. Yes tornados are a thrilling sight but only from a distance.
Wonderful simile. Concise, comprehensive and complete. Thanks for sharing.

I would like to translate this poem
Nature's dark beauty alright.. what bout the misery and destruction this beauty causes on its way?
Thank you Krishna for your comment. If you want to read a more comprehensive poem about Tornado please read my poem ‘ Siren Went Off’. Oklahoma is known for Tornado and its destruction. I have tried to capture many emotions in that poem.
