Brown Fury

[RhymeLovingWriter]

wind
blasting dried-out world around
diverging dust clouds here to there,
south to north or north to south
whichever turn it gusts,
relentless
rendered raw, as dust-bowl-days,
fury browns the world around

set safe, inside, we hide our hides
from gritty-spittle smiles

tornadic - no - yet some might say
it ramps that way...

the day blows on in minutes ticked
with thickly dusted dunes of
farm ground moved, removed
laid bare of what was seeded for
the spring

a soaking rain would settle things

A new Lenovo tablet replacing a six year old has substituted 'ornery' for compliant and kept me quiet for a fortnight. Now I'm gathering back the posts I missed. A swirl of dust, a coated Midwest. We got all the rain that has you distressed. Every day Atlantic weather brings Atlantis nearer and nearer.

Glad you got things going again...hope you like the new hardware! We did get a few sprinkles the next day...not enough to register in the gauge yet. If we could only send the weather where and when we wanted it...
