Dangerous and deadly
The beast haunts it's prey
Chasing and tormenting
Herding up the animals
In a frenzy of fear
Black ,White and Grey
Are the clothes of the beast
Caravans scatter
Scarred

Roaring and laughing
It wrenches houses apart
His eyes flash
With anger
At his friends
Who have stolen his fun

Earth is an innocent spec
In this major war
But slowly they get bigger and bigger
Until they're colossal
But it is not the beast that is the worst
It is the devastation it leaves behind it.


By Adam

 

Prowling with great patience,
Stalking the land,
Showing no innocence,
Nor offering a helping hand.

Agitated, distressed and disturbed,
The animals beg for forgiveness,
The tornado curse has occurred,
He sends all hope to oblivion.

The king tornado gathers his troops,
And they join a one to rule,
Spewing out debris as it swoops,
For more terrorism to feed its great hunger.

The great beast,
Scurries down to a gentle breeze,
And ruins remains still,
With relief that the terrifying encounter is over.

By Ben

The beasts long lashing tongue
Scoops up the land
Animals run in terror
He opens his mouth
And clamps it shut

The beast glides through the city
Attacking all buildings
Crashing down to the ground
His spinning tail flicks the floor
As fire pours out of fiery jaws

His army comes to join the force
As the beast grows and grows
His mighty army hunts for their prey
Ripping up houses and more
For days and days he rules
Until soon his strength ebbs, then dies

By Bethany

 

Wiping wind swarmed
Herding helpless cows
As fast as lightening,
Destruction urges.

Nailing boring digging, tightening his grip,
Turf swaying, swinging, spinning
He hovers over, preternatural victims,
They can run but they can't hide
Releasing tension with,
Silver ribbon of lightening.

By Charlie
Jet black beasts growl at the cattle,
As it rounds up tormented cows,
Moving in towards the enemy,
Ripping everything in its already set path.

Devilish spirals tearing,
Everything clinging for life,
Petrified houses scream,
Griping for life, dear life.

Tasting destruction,
Beckoning armies of evil,
Shredding the world of happiness,
And putting fear and sadness in its place.

Gnashing, tearing, roaring,
At anything in its way,
Flashing lightning crashes down,
On helpless beings on earth.

Growing, gripping, growling,
Round the world it's travelling,
Blowing roughly,
It's like a dinosaur roaring rapidly.

By Chris

 

The beast's long lashing tongue
Scoops up the land
Animals run in terror
He opens his jaw
And clams it shut

The beast glides through the city
Attacking all buildings
Crashing down to the ground
His spinning tail flicks the floor
As fire pours out of his sharp jaws

His army comes to join the force
As the beast grows and grows
His mighty army hunts for their prey
Ripping up houses and more
For days and days he rules
Until soon his strength ebbs, then dies

By Christine

Whipping,
Chasing,
Herding,
The livestock,
As he moves.

Spinning, Spinning, Spinning around.
He chooses his next victim,
The ground.

With talons of wind,
He rip's the bloody earth.

Miniature houses, shredded to pieces.
The sound of wild wind in my ears,
The terrible sight before me,
The taste of blood in my mouth.

His brothers join in.
The terror never ends.

By Cienna

The ravenous beast,
Swirls through town,
Screeching and screaming,
In his defence.

Breathing fiery grey breath,
He kills anything,
That stands in his way,
Crashing, splintering,
Wood to the ground.

Swirling round villages,
Stealing earth, grass and flowers,
Houses are played with and poked,
Then spat out in disgust,
The houses scream in a frenzy of fear.

Sucking all the life,
Out of the towns,
Fast in fury,
Wrapping the earth,
In a silver, misty ribbon.

But the beast does not give in,
Bringing more of his kind,
Joining together to share the feast.

By Deanna

 

Whipping wind swarms
Herding helpless cows
As fast as lightning,
Destruction urges.

Nailing boring digging in, tightening his grip,
Turf swaying, swirling, spinning
Hovers over potential victims,
They can run but they can't hide.

He releases tension with a silver ribbon of lightening.


By Emily

 

The tornado is a hungry beast
Getting ready to eat his feast
Herding up the helpless cows

Shredding up the concrete ground
He makes a tremendous sound
Crumbling the ground like a biscuit

Whirling, swirling in the air
Destroying everything till the ground is bear
Houses cling on for dear life

The next victim who will it be?
New York, Hollywood or maybe a sea
I'm not actually sure

The power station attacked sure enough
Oh the tornado is powerful and rough
Joining his colony of powerful terror
Binding to make an almighty one.

By James

 

His anger erupts as he twists and twirls,
Like an elephant attempting ballet,
Thumping and bumping, thundering down
Cows scream with terror,
As he herds them to their death.

Wearing a cloak of danger,
He tears up the ground
Limb by limb,
Leaving the destroyed breathless.

Houses cling to the ground,
Their lives depends on it,
Tearing and swallowing whole,
He is selfish and hungry.

Calling and beckoning to his army,
Suddenly more tornados arrive,
Joining preparing for the big attack,
As the destroyed lane pleads for mercy.

By Katie

 

Bellowing cows moo,
Eyes fixed to tornado.
Shoulder to shoulder they charge,
Away from the perilous hunter.

Peeling the ground like an orange,
He destroys everything in his path.
Sucking a caravan into his grasp,
His talons rip it to shreds.

Suddenly, out of the blue,
His colleagues arrive to help.
They combined as one,
Quickly they continued their rampage.

Hungry for MORE!


By Lara

Herding the cow's to his will,
Roaring his disapproval,
Shirking in terror
They fled from the field.

The giant beast rampages
Shredding up the ground with furious death,
Leading a trail of destruction
Chewing up everything

Hoarding his army of terror
They combined,
Reunited with comrade
On there mission to gorge on the world.

By Lucy

The ravenous beast
Swirls through towns
Screeching and screaming in his defence

Breathing fiery breath
He kills anything that stands in his way
Crashing splintering wood to the ground.

Swirling round villages
Stealing the earth grass and flowers
Houses are played with poked,
Then spat out in disgust
The houses scream in a frenzy of fear.

Sucking the life out of towns,
Fast in fury,
Wrapping the earth in a silver misty ring.
But the beast does not retreat he brings
More of his kind
Joining together
To share the feast.

By Megan

Quickly they continue their rampage.

Oh the Tornado is Powerful and rough.
Joining his colony of terror to win the brilliant battle.

Eyes fixed to tornado.
Shoulder to shoulder they charge,
Away from the perilous hunter.

Peeling the ground apart like an orange,
He destroys everything in his presence.
Sucking a caravan into his grasps,
His talons rip it to shreds.

Suddenly, out of the blue,
His colleagues arrive to help.
They combined as one,
Quickly they continued their rampage.

HUNGRY FOR MORE!!!!!!

By Sophie

Whipping,
Chasing,
Herding
The livestock, as he moves.

Spinning, spinning, spinning
Around.
He chases his next victim the ground.

With his talons of wind he rips
The bloody earth,
Miniature houses shredded to pieces.

The sound of wind in my ears,
The terrible sight before me,
The taste of blood in my mouth.

His brothers then join in,
The terror never ends.

By Robert

Twisting and twirling,
The mighty beast,
Sieges the city,
Survivor's captives in their own ruins.

Now moving in for the kill,
The feeble city reeks of fear,
It trembles as the Beast,
Moves ever closer.

And then the roaring Beast strikes,
His ripple of terror shakes the ground,
Cattle scatters as the Beast torments them,
Then reaches the dreaded moment.

Everything flies here and there,
In a frenzy of laughing breath,
Houses huddle in every corner,
Not knowing what's coming next.

Sucking, smoking and snarling,
It destroys everything in its path,
Shredding the road beneath his feet,
Throwing away his waste.

His destruction moves on,
Throwing and sucking,
Houses ripped away from their frightened neighbours,
Then disposing like a dump.

Now the city lays still, sleeping,
This time was a warning,
When will it strike next,
It only leaves one thing,
FEAR.

By Sam

 

Blackish beasts growl at cattle,
As it rounds up tormented cows,
Moving inwards towards the enemy,
Shredding in it's path of destruction.

Devilish spirals tearing,
Everything clinging for life,
Petrified houses scream,
Gripping down for dear life,

Tasting destruction,
Beckoning armies of evil,
Shredding the world,
AGAIN!!!

Gnashing, tearing, roaring,
At everything in its way,
Flashing lightning crashes down,
On helpless beings on the earth itself,

Growing, gripping, growling,
Round the country it's roaring,
Blowing menacingly,
It's a dinosaur out of control.

By Thomas

 

Chasing, charging, choking,
Attempting to gobble and suck,
He rounds the terrified animals.

Whistling its torturing breath,
Throwing, tossing rubble from the ground,
He licks rooves with his flashing tongue.

Swirling, twirling, whirling,
The raging beast,
He crushes houses.

Gathering fellow warriors,
Enlarging the army,
He demolishes everything in sight.

Beware of the beasts,
Horrific monsters,
They shall never hesitate.

By Bella

Twisting and twirling,
The mighty beast,
Sieges the city,
The survivors captive in their own ruins.

Now moving in for the kill,
The feeble city reeks of fear,
It trembles as the beast,
Moves even closer.

And then the roaring beast strikes,
His ripple of terror shakes the ground,
A cattle scatters as the beast torments them,
Then reaches the dreaded moment.

Everything flies here and there,
In a frenzy of laughing breath,
Houses in every corner,
Not knowing what's coming next.

Sucking, smoking and sneezing,
It destroys everything in its path,
Shredding the ground,
Throwing away its waste.

Now the city stays still, sleeping,
This time was a warning,
When will it strike again?
He only left one thing,
Fear.
