Sonnet: Supercell Storm
S uppose two winds, free-flowing, north and west
U nruffled, one above and one below
P roduced a shearing interface which pressed
E ntrapping both in spinning vortex flow.
R otating updraft joins the spiralled pair
C louds billow, anvil-shaped in troposphere
E ffecting thunderstorm extraordinaire
L argesse of nature, tier on swelling tier.
L et lovers take the place of wayward winds
S ubverted by a touch and skyward thrust
T ormented in a maelstrom which rescinds
O bjective sense, tranquility and trust.
R egard with care a whirlwinds human form
M ercurial passions' mesocyclone storm.
