This poem is a great example of sound=sense. Consonance, assonance, alliteration, internal rhyme—they all build the meaning of the poem up—which burgeons like a storm cloud. Also well done is the conceit of outer weather=inner weather, with an implied/suggested narrative. Very well done.
I remember these. Love the way this moves like a storm, both musically and in its imagery, ad the questions it asks at the end!
Thanks for your close reading!
