I like the personification of the hurricane here and how you've made the idea of "cut with a look" very solid
Thank you for your appreciation Rommy

I learn something every day! Cut-eyes is a new term to me. Where we might say don't roll your eyes at me, you might say don't give me cut-eyes. I'll add that to my vocabulary!!
I like September cut-eyes and didn't know about that term either
Thank you for your appreciation Marja

My grandmother used to use the "cut-eye" phrase. I hadn't heard / read it elsewhere until here, tonight, about half-a-century later. Thank you GC.
Isn't it strange that others have these little idioms that are so varied from our own.

Oh yes, hurricanes definitely have "a look" and a feel and a terror .... nice poetry. Short and to the point. Plus I learned a new word.
Strong winds can be very scary!
Scary cut eyes ...I know who that is :)

I haven't heard the expression "cut-eyes" in ages! And it's the first time I hear it in English. Strangely, even though the gesture is one of contempt, seeing it in your poem put a smile on my face--it brought back memories of my island. So, thank you for that.
Hope your week has been a good one, Gillena.

In the Southern States we might "cut our eyes at" someone if we were really angry, a different facial expression from the "rolling our eyes" that expresses mere impatience.
"Jane rolled her eyes at her best friend. 'You forgot your book again?'"
"Jane cut her eyes at Joe and the new girl who'd come to the party with him."
I've not heard or seen the expression shortened to "cut-eyes" in the U.S.
