The dark maelstrom swirled slowly
Drawing bruised clouds into its core
Killing stars as it towered in the sky
Fat crackles of light spear down
Reshaping mountains, flattening trees
Wind-driven rain hurling golf-ball hail
Thunder stalking the hidden peaks
The maelstrom swirls slowly
Feeding upon itself, growing stronger
Lay waste to life and limb
All found within
A scorned woman's eye

What a storm! I like the end line.."A scorned woman's eye"

Joy

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying,
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.
