The 23rdof April marks a very special day, Shakespeare Day!
Known for his sonnets and playwrights worldwide, the man is practical the emperor of creative writing. Did you know he is the best-selling author of all time, with approximately 4 billion copies of his work sold? It is no doubt we study his work till date.
Thus, I wanted to reminisce a little, back to the day when I wrote my first dramatic monologue in the point of view of a microwave. Yes, you read right. A Microwave.
Without further ado, ladies and gents, I present to you.
The Microwave’s Melody
Am I a landfill?
A sewage perhaps,
created to be, polluted
by your pungent dishes!
What’s next I wonder,
Surströmming?
Still I twirl
I whirl
pivoting your precious platter,
humming to your tune.
I ping for your approval.
Once. Twice-
you flung me open. And to your
dismay, it is neither hot or cold,
but like left out cereal.
Slam me shut,
jab at me till I reach my utmost.
For you will see,
your cactus tongue
will be your undoing.
