Tornado Terrors

by Ella Cripps aged 10

Birds joyfully danced and tweeted,
In the farms sheep happily bleeted,
The sky was baby-blue, so peaceful and calming,
Until the winds picked up and sirens started alarming.

Doors, trees and cars too,
Around and around the town they flew,
Poor, terrified people yelped,
As this swirl of wind could not be helped.

Dogs were barking, they would not rest,
Nobody knew what to do for the best,
Eventually the tornado began to fade,
But what a destruction this has made!

Children sobbed standing in pools of their tears,
While their parents shook in their fears,
Around the town was a horrible feeling of dismay,
“What will we do now” people would say.
