Howling,

Raging,

Spinning on the radar

like a rainbow pinwheel

At a pride parade;

A war-like tempest

Flanked by white hot

Swords of lightning

Surges toward the coast -

Vexated - like an oceanic Titan.

Burning saltwater

Swirls around its judgmental eye,

As its thunderous voice

Demands that we answer

For our abuse

Of this dying planet.
