Yes, that sounds like a thunder storm.
The words you picked really are descriptive-
stinging blows and drenching twisting storm.
You have nice couplets and it rhymes well.
If I was to go back, I would remember sitting on my stairsteps with the lights out. Now I just turn everything off.
Congratulations on all of your wins.

Really felt the storm here. I usually like storms, but this one is like to avoid :) the writing was very understandable and painted the picture well. Right off the line with disheveled drops! Nicely structured with just enough information. Thanks for writing!

Hi Sugarray,

I found your aminute poem an excellent one. I love storms that only sound loud with rumbles and a good light show, not floods or tornadoes or hurricanes. Your lines of 8-4-4-4 line counts are spot on, too.

Think I'll try a Minute poem soon. Looks like fun :-)

I loved your stormy poem, well written and polished!

All the best,
Senyai

This is a very interesting poem!!

Id love to know your true meaning in it.
I feel like the storm is a metaphor.

Something is stirring in your world and the storm is not yet over for you.

Is this correct?

    Hello Natalie. Thank you for your in depth review. I must say that the storm is more of a reflection of the time I was on the edge of a tornado than anything personal going on at this time. Thanks for checking on me!!

Beautiful descriptions of imagery used at the first output! Accurate too.
"Disheveled" to mean chaotic disarray as raindrops are indeed formulated, followed by classifying these ones as "jagged," or sharp and rough around the edges as some storms can menacingly be. Already we know this isn't a pleasant state of affairs if one chose to ignore the title. These raindrops are waging war on the earth! the author claims, and gaining the upper-hand at that!

It is a very thorough stormy state of affairs Sugarray77 notes, and its abnormality makes it an interesting one to record with word...

A good use of classical personification gives animated life to a natural occurrence, making it all the more powerful in stature.

By the end the once physical reaction now seems to have an arsenal of weapons via the life Sugarray77 breathed into its existence, and these weapons make a clashing sound worthy of remembrance.

A climatic ending as the situation is said to may not even have a conclusion of its own, leaving the reader to wonder what other kinds of havoc it may wrought.

A well structured build that amplifies the monstrosity of this scenario, perhaps using pathos to establish fear into the audiences mind of just what this earth is capable of construing.

Intense and definitely something you might not want to come across, yet wonder if the author herself did and the effect it had on her writing capabilities.

Beautifully done, Bravo!

This minute poem, Wild Whirlwind, has the proper formatting and brings the view and feel of the tornado to the readers as the mighty storm spins through people's lives.
