Caliginous cumulus clouds
Tumultuous thrashing thunders,
Amidst appalling anxiety
Watchful warrior wanders.
Shrieking stinging sounds
Excruciate emotional ears,
Mighty mercenary moves
Fighting formidable fears.
Barbarian brutal butchers
Beheaded beauteous beloved,
Left lying lifeless
Bathed betwixt blood.
Aim avenge annihilation
Laud lost love,
Fight for fatality
Agglutinate adored above.

A good write and interesting interpretation of the picture prompt. Good imagery, flow and tone. Nice rhyme and rhythm. Nice depth of feeling. Good word choice, strong alliteration and nice assonance. Also, each line is 3 words (not syllables) as you posted in your notes. Thank you for your entry.
