NATURAL THREAT
Black clouds
Danger threatens
Frenzied winds blow inland
Turbulent seas thrash the shoreline
Rain falls
Gale strikes
Sea levels rise
Waves breach the embankment
Emergency measures actioned
Tempest
Storm wanes
Flooding subsides
Violent winds moderate
Sludge and detritus line the roads
Clouds drift

Good write and I love the picture.
Thank you.
Thanks MICHAEL ~ love the flow and shape of this form (2 4 6 8 2) it is very appropriate to the subject of the poem ! Love the painting ~ Trees are great "role models" and survive awful conditions ~ because they are rooted and grounded in LOVE (Earth) ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN Please check my Flower Poem & Fusion ~ Thanks B.
Thanks Brian. Cinquain?
Yes indeed CINQUAIN ~ Five lines in 2 4 6 8 2 syllables and they end up very arboreal ! BRIAN
A fine write and pic M. Dunno about that 'xylophagous' stuff from EC. I might swoon if I knew what it meant! lol.
Picture works here Michael. The aftermath in a way 🙂
