Funnel swirling
winds whirling
twirling twister
reaching down,
sucking
up dust and debris,
buildings’ buster,
chucking
pieces further,
rushing fast,
brief life –

danger past.

Good description of a twister Rhiannon. Just glad we don't get them in this country...well at least I've never experienced one, thank goodness.

Thanks, Jenny. My own thoughts likewise. It was an opportunity to try to read up a bit more about them, and try to choose some suitable rushing, twisting, crashing words! Rhiannon

I like how you have "sucking" then "up dust" on the next line, gives each word more power. And all the aliteration. 

Have you got lots of snow today?

Thanks for comment.

Re snow, no, very cold, and a thin layer, swirling snow at times. We had a lot in early December. They say we may get a lot still later this week. How are you placed. The children do love it! Rhiannon

LOTS. When I looked at the weatherforecast last night it had one snowflake at 3 AM, I think and today was meant to be sunny all day. But it was inch thick this morning and has not stopped all day. Children hoping school will be shut tomorrow :0)
