to caress a column of cumulonimbus

the 12 given words:
call cart can
cacophony (a harsh discordant mixture of sounds). 
caress column cover cotton coal color corona 
covet 

a call to cart them off is received
can expect to confront an unruly crowd
a cacophony of deafening roar in disbelief
extends over the air culminating in shouts

to caress a column of cumulonimbus cover
threatening and progressing slowly but surely
cotton forming and darkening coal in colour 
taking the likes of a coronavirus in intensity

a crown precariously perched on the head 
teetering in the cold winds of a pandemic
out of control despite assurances made
a coveted vaccine longed for to avert panic

  1. Avert panic - and indifference. Which is what we have here.
    Well done, Hank.

  3. Gonna be a long time to avert that panic with a vaccine, people are becoming complacent with things and making it worse so more panic. Onward it goes.
