tempest
wide-eyed bluster
bellowing counter-clockwise
raging toward sleepy coastal shores
must get more milk and bread

tyranny
it’s a masquerade
their vile deluge of pretense,
their temerity
is but a drizzling ruse
a tempest, shrouded in guile
raining down on us,
deliquescent victims, we
are dying of thirst

fire and ice collide
tempest arcs in ecstasy

For Sonya of Only 100 Words’ Three Line Tale Challenge based on this spectacular photograph by Breno Machado.
darkening gloom, tempers ignite
a tempest looms as bitter words spew
billowing clouds poisonous venom
swelling with rain unleashing rage
a thunderous deluge taking no prisoners
flooding the earth slaying the soul
