blows down sheds and fences,
topples trees.
Trampolines make a run for it!
The last remaining leaves are torn from trees.
Round and round and round they dance!
...Beautiful dances.
Trees sway,
some succumb to the wind.
Branches fall to the ground,
blocking roads,
smashing greenhouses,
littering pavements and once perfect lawns.
Making patterns on the ground.
...Beautiful patterns.
Boats tucked up in harbours tug vigorously at moorings.
Huge waves crash over breakwaters.
In the spray,
through the weak watery light,
the sunlight creates rainbows.
...Beautiful rainbows.
A beauty in the storm.
