A Castle in the sky.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Epic

Castles in the sky.

Castles in the sky.

You construct your fortresses in the sky, but you refuse to allow anyone to come by I don't want them to I don't know why. But you don't mind splitting hairs; you would rather climb up the stairs. You are not being fair. Do you really care? Therefore, you bravely take a stand at the pulpit and tell me your lies. I won't bow down to you and cry. You carry a dark secret, like a cloud that holds a lot of rain. But in the end, the rain must fall. Now, all you feel is small. Don't give me a call.

This poem 'A Castle in the Sky' evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue with its imagery of constructing fortresses in the sky and holding onto dark secrets. The use of metaphors like clouds holding rain adds depth to the emotion conveyed in the poem. The rhythm and flow of the lines create a captivating reading experience.

One suggestion for improvement would be to expand on the theme of building castles in the sky and the significance of refusing to allow anyone to come by. Exploring this idea further could add more depth to the overall message of the poem. Additionally, considering incorporating more descriptive language to further enhance the imagery and engage the reader's senses. Overall, this poem shows promise and potential for further development. Keep up the good work! more »
