Hurricane force winds battered the UK this past week causing untold damage. Not to mention the increase in numbers and the destruction of tornadoes here in the US. Storms worldwide have definitely become stronger, and I remember enduring more than one such rainstorm last summer.
The Current Norm in Rainstorms
A slash of sizzling light from the hand
of a bellicose warrior rampaging
across a raven sky rent the moonless
gloom. Lightsabers stormed.
Wrath overtook the street, gushed
over curbs, rushed like brigand bots
spewing mayhem in a parched city
as mortals huddled behind bolted doors.
The dragoon, riding the wind, moved on,
rallying the weeds but leaving withered
grasses slammed by the downpour
and the air clammy as a damp kerchief
tossed as he withdrew.
