Weather Report From Hell

Once again from https://scottwoodsmakeslists.wordpress.com/2014/04/22/my-poetry-prompts-for-national-poetry-month/

In order to prep myself for Found Poetry Month Challenge, all words in this poem are taken from The Bible and Dante Alighieri's Inferno.

Seven Day Forecast, After Thirty-Three Days At Sea

the winds rebuke the nobility
you are to bring into the ark all the diseases
two of every kind of tyrant

pride
envy
avarice
take with you seven pairs of unclean abandon
distill hope from the mists

Fire and hail
can not be separated from
snow and clouds
the taste of another man's bread
stormy wind
fulfilling His word

the sea manifests pity
a whirlwind of frogs obscures the face of apprehension

ever more grew shallower
that blood the skies drip with
​
beholdest the boiling steam
a smal rivulet
the bow in the cloud

salt for ever milks the heat
and the cloud does not burst
thence we came forth to rebehold the stars

    This page is where the content from previous poetry blogs have been condensed. It's not on the menu, since most of these projects are over, or on hiatus, but the posts are still here to peruse.
