MIDNIGHT STORM

Mighty roars fill the air
as the velvety black panther
takes the place of the sky.
He lets out growls of anger
and swipes at the ground.

His mighty ivory claws rake
the fragile floor of earth
which burst up in carbuncle flames
and scorch the rest of the world.

After the leaving the wound of defeat
upon the ruined land,
his strong paw retreats back
into the midnight sky.

Hastily he leaves
he's played his role of destruction.
Swiftly, he bounds away
to rest
and
plan his next campaign.
