Turner's Moods







The cantankerous man throws his wild skies
across the canvas.

Livid tantrums flaring from his heavens
whip the clouds to screaming,

infuriate the waves
so they bash the boats that ply his seas.

And later, when all is becalmed in sunlight,
milky behind gauzy clouds,

that gentleness of his, even tenderness,
will still presage another, approaching storm.
