Hurricane Girls

The most beautiful kind

Are the most dangerous

 

Standing transfixed

As she tears you apart

 

Ripping out the roots you had built

And the walls you had planted

 

She leaves you in awe

As she glides away

 

A grey and blue trail

Of beauty and pain

 

And you realize why all

Hurricanes are named after people

Clever. Love the mixed metaphor of building roots and planting walls.
