I thought the shape of a tornado would lend itself to a visual freeform poem, but decided that an acrostic would give it a semblance of defined form. As I wrote this I realised the word contained only seven letters so the poem is quite short but I hope it manages to convey a little of the terror that a tornado or any natural destructive phenomenon can induce.
The visual representation is created using a screenshot from Google Docs.
The music is "Tornado" by Little Big Town.

A Plagiaristic Poem Of Band And Musician Name Origins
Introduction I am just listening to Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" after listening to Camper Van Beethoven's remake of the same album, and that could be a Vocal story in itself, but here is the task I have set myself. Fourteen Band names and a brief explanation of the same in the form of a sonnet.

i like your story you read my story please do you speak spanish
I'm sure I wouldn't have thought of anything quite as creative; a wonderful combination of words and visuals. Top piece!
Artfully twisted.
Oh I really loved how it looked like a tornado! Very creative acrostic!
Great acrostic! really imaginative.
I love that song...so powerful
Very good!
Nicely done, Mike.
Excellent work, I wonder whatβs the science explanation of the tornado, why does it only happen in the United States
Great acrostic, and I like the image and the visual presentation of the words.
The acrostic works very well here. Congratulations!
Nice one
Excellent job here - Mike πβ€οΈπ―ππ
