Scraping the Heavens

by Chelsey   Apr 23, 2012


Written for a club challenge about sky scrapers

Ash like colors clutter the sky
creating a forecast of dull and gloomy
Painting the perfect picture of sadness
between the dessicated cirrus clouds

My day was doomed to sorrow
As vaccant spaces above me
filled up with rain and thunder
Dirtying what use to be a pretty sight

Briefly, I see it , off in the the distance
Standing 40 stories tall,
with a ravishing silver framework
and diamond sparkling windows

Scraping the sky with its elegance
Light reflecting off every clean cut edge
bringing hope to the heavens
that there is beauty in dreary days

    I think its quite interesting how the views of nature cluttered and "dirtied" the world. How the hidden powers of earth seemed to make it all ...imperfect. Although, I do like the way you made one of man's structures seem like a vision of hope, and beauty. More than what's in the world we all don't always see. A switch on the escape idea. So well done, in this write. Well done

    Chelsey this is beautiful. The images are awesome.

    So many times I would go to my work and would look out the windows and watch the clouds and storms roll in. It was awesome. There would be glass windows surrounding us so it was like 360 degree view. I simply loved this poem because it reminded me of that. There was a sad tone in the writing which I felt, and loved!

    Awesome write!

    The beauty of this is much higher than skyscrapers.

    I loved how this piece had that touch of hope and inspirstion to it, that's the image you get of skyscrapers isn't it, that tall feeling of strength.

    Definately a great piece, with smooth flow and wording that fit well.

    Great Chesley
