A cyclone in a coastal twon

The waves pounced
On whatever they could find
The lightning bounced
From spot to spot
The wind sprinted
Breaking things up along the way
And the clouds whirled around and around
Stepping on things, reducing them to rubble

The thunder roared like a lion
The rain fell like iron spikes
The water rose up in a revolt
Drowning anything in it's path

The buildings in the town broke like fragile glass
The cars in the town were tossed like tennis balls
The trees in the town snapped like plastic rulers
A cyclone in a coastal town
