Tornado (String Haiku)

by Cindy   Jul 9, 2007


String Haiku

Tornado

Darkness stripping light
Swift storms deafening rumble
Massive killer twirls

Uncaring whirlwinds
Flying debris spinning past
Blindly picks victims

Destruction wrought skies
Natures evil wrath impinged
Deadly silence cries

    Cindy this is a flawless description of Tornado

    Fsams anlysis of your poem:

    Heading:

    The heading "Tornado" is 100% cohesive and relavent to the content.

    Poetic competence:

    The poem is well adhered to the Haiku rules and as I know about this type, it should be descriptive....and no doubt that this is 100% descriptive. The lexis used really matches the ppoem and it makes the right piece with the inntended meaning with regard to the caption. It has both lexical and poetic qualities.

    Content:

    The precise words add so much of meaning in to the Haiku strings that readers feel a complete description of a Tornado. Great Cindy :)

    Rating:

    No doubt it is worth 5/5

    Remarks:

    Dear Cindy, your poems always captivate my heart and induce me to read with all my heart. This is flawless poetry. Tc

    My, what a gorgeous piece about tornadoes, Miss Cindy! (^^,) The part where you stated "Deadly silence cries..." exudes, quite vividly, a rather audible sound with me--either shedding tears or screaming.

    I loved it! 'twas my real pleasure to read it. =]

    All the best and take care.

    Love,
    Debbie
