THE SUN GETS ANGRY IN MARCH

THE SUN GETS ANGRY IN MARCH

A Poem by kublakhan27

02 04 13

"
The snow plow looks
like a factory on a joy ride
and sounds like progress
Snow and sleet
clamour for the royal climate
like divine right
and political might
Henry Bolingbroke would be proud
Old Hank put the sun in its place
if only till that March
That was when
a flare gave birth to a grudge
and soon the snow
followed the fate of rain
Uneasy lay the head
that never had the luxury
of a weather channel

Author's Note

kublakhan27
The Shakespeare nerd has returned ;P Bolingbroke is King Henry IV, the central character of the two plays that bore his name...the "sun" is a pun on his successor "son", who took over after his father died on March 20, 1413 (I looked that part up) and would dominate the next play, ingeniously titled Henry V...

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown - 2 Henry IV


But aside from all that, this is really just another poem showing off my weather obsession...this one doesn't do much for me, but it's the first thing I've come up with in a few weeks and I was itching to put something new out :P

The weather does lend an dramatic tone to the vibrant scene which you have depicted. I appreciate your Author's Note!...It helps the reader comprehend what you have envisioned in this write. Love how you have incorporated William Shakespeare's central character "Bolingbroke" in this piece...

"Henry Bolingbroke would be proud
Old Hank put the sun in its place
if only till that March
That was when
a flare gave birth to a grudge
and soon the snow
followed the fate of rain~ Brilliant write! :)

Were you perhaps waiting for the King of England to plow you out? Ahhh, I just peeked above and see you gave us step by instructions on how to read your fine poetry. I had a friend who watched nothing but the weather channel, other than that she was pretty normal. ;-) Fun read!

Bard nerd ;-) I don't know anybody who has access to it who is not obsessed, even just a little, with the weather channel. True story: my ridiculously large television developed the white screen of death (don't mourn; already ordered a DMD chip online) and when I went to the laundromat I had access to a TV, and guess what I watched...for two hours straight ;-) But I digress...Excellent piece. Well done, k.
