To see such a thing as your wonderful poem describes approaching is to feel a primal fear, especially when it is a broad twister.The slender ones give us hope we can escape, but some of them are worse than hurricanes. I've lived through a couple!

Vortex- great name for this piece. The title set the tone for the movement and fury imagery in the writing.
Well written and easy to feel the message of nature's power.
Thank you Sugarray.

A very dramatic words selected here! I like the assonance and consonance of the of the second line. With all the present active participles, you give us a sense of action. Best wishes in the contest!

The placement of words is very important in this poem. The sounds although not strictly alliterative are onomatopoetic. They sound like a storm. There is strong imagery of animation. Well expressed.

I have been close to a tornado but never in one. Nature is amazing as it is devastating. But then so are we humans.

I wish you good luck in the contest.

This 2-10-2, Vortex, has the proper formatting and describes the ambitious winds which spin to screw disaster into the scene wherever it drills. Devastation is its thing.

A very well-written 2-10-2 poem about the start a d progress of a twister that turns and whirls in a dark cloud and then destroys about everything that's coming in its path.

I have never seen one for real and they look rather scary and living under the threat of these must be terrifying, you brought the twister to life here, love Dolly x

Your descriptive words for twister are good. I think you covered it all and also with the art to make us visualize the twister.

I wish you best of luck in the contest.

Well done.
