Imagine on the Horizon

by Chai   May 19, 2006


Imagine a flash of lightning,
Imagine water crashing rocks,
Imagine sun shining in my eyes,
And you imagine life.

Imagine snow blanketing endless horizons,
To be gone by the rising of the sun,
Imagine water raining from the heavens,
And you imagine earth.

Imagine crisp golden leaves hitting ground in fall,
To leave bare trees in the cold of winter,
Trees that leave flower-buds basking in the sun in spring,
And you imagine the way of the world.

Imagine the sound of a baby's laughter
The look in a newborn's eyes
The silk-soft touch of a child's cheek
And you imagine innocence.

Imagine the sun rising, an orange disk on the blue horizon,
Imagine the moon falling, a patch of snow on midnight velvet,
Imagine the stars dotting a cloudless night,
Imagine on the horizon.

    I thought a lot of the images were very strong, but I also feel like the repitition was only effective during certain points, and otherwise just served as a reminder of the title to the reader. For example, I felt that the third and fourth stanzas were significantly stronger than the second because they only have one line that starts with imagine, and it's the first one. The constant prompting to imagine can sort of take away from the whole imagination process.

    Don't get me wrong, I think this poem is a good one as it stands. I think you could improve it though, simply by editing your poem in a way that would remove some of the more superfluous 'imagine's
