I am A Whirlwind

Image
I huff and puff but you only see me from a distance You feel pity for others but you never dream I will pick you up. I am a whirlwind, I grow slowly lifting only the gravel. You see me from a 10mile radius, I leave you a little shaken but not enough to move away. I am a whirlwind I move by the wind so you will never see me coming. Before you know it, I am there like a cool summer breeze that creates humour by lifting girls’ skirts. Harmless as I may seem don’t take me for granted because remember I am a whirlwind. Suddenly I gain momentum and before you know you are in the sky no control of your life, I am spinning the life out of you and just as you are about to give upon life, I drop you without remorse leaving you to die with broken bones. I am a whirlwind and like my name I move with the wind so don’t think I will wait with remorse to help you lick your wounds; I am onto my next 10-mile radius. I am a whirlwind.
