TWO HULAS: THE STORM, by WALKER WINSLOW First Line: Puna has paddled all night in the storm Last Line: At the story he'll tell of his night in the hag's arms. Subject(s): Storms | ||||||||
Puna has paddled all night in the storm and got no place at all in it. If the storm is large, Puna's temper is but little smaller. Slap after slap he's had at the storm's hands; the typhoon has given him eight good punches. He can tell you about the whip the North Wind swings and sad though he'll look on Hilo's beach, the forty thousand buttocks of the town will get a good shaking at the story he'll tell of his night in the hag's arms. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STORM AT HOPTIME by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THERE IS A SOLEMN WIND TONIGHT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD DEWEY AND DANCER by JOSEPHINE MILES MICHAEL IS AFRAID OF THE STORM by GWENDOLYN BROOKS BREACHING THE ROCK by MADELINE DEFREES THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE OCEAN by STEPHEN DOBYNS OF POLITICS, & ART by NORMAN DUBIE |
