Nicely done. I've had the (pleasure?) of seeing a few of these when I lived in Oz/Kansas. They are as fascinating as they are deadly and mysterious.

Cheers!

This is an excellent Haiku! This is the first time I've seen the word "dervishing" applied to a tornado. Good choice! The picture you have fits your words well.

Again, I am not too versed on the Haiku format of poetry but I do like the message and meaning of this poem. I think it is cool you can write a powerful message with so few words. Keep up the good work!

Hi Melissa.
This is a nicely done alliterative haiku about what a tornado is and where it comes from. It can also be metaphoric of how we feel in the midst of one of life's troubles.
Congrats on winning the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day.
Joan

Very, very good. Powerful word choices, well suited to the dark image. I liked the alliteration and also the "deadened, leaden sky". I am sure this will do very well in the contest, and I send my best wishes.
