Three Things Challenge #M708

Hold On!!!

Duck and cover

Head for shelter

Protect, not hover

In the pending helter skelter.

–

Find a safe place

And hunker down

The storm is coming

Round and round.

–

The sirens are going

The time is near

The winds are really blowing

And the green sky is not clear.

–

A sound at first, distant

Starts to grow

Initially, a soft hiss

Then it starts to throw.

–

In between blasts of hail and rain

There was as a different sound

It’s something like a freight train

With everything twirling around.

–

Deep inside my hiding place

I hear objects hit the house

As the winds pick up there pace

I huddle quiet as a mouse.

–

Big things small things

Missles of all sizes

Crash through with a sting

Destroying all our prizes

–

I hold on tight

The worst is here

It won’t take me this night

Though that I fear.

–

I close my eyes

With fast beating heart

With tears and sighs

As my house is torn apart.

–

My ears pop

From the pressure of the wind

I pray for it to stop

And the tornado finally ascends…
