Over your head perhaps but
Then again never entirely
Out of your element,
This singular cleansing
Clear blue sky and that
Uncompromising view
Unobstructed by the ubiquitous
Chatter of pedestrian clutter you
Like to think now safely behind you.
Marvelous poem about the sky and one's self, one's hopes and realizations. Read aloud it is rich in sound and music (fine rhymes and off-rhymes), and the line breaks work to create its rhythm that concludes perfectly with the last word. The poet completely in his element!
ReplyDeleteAnd the critical reader, I might add. :) (Thanks again, John.)
