A magnificent edifice
March 5, 2008 by niebla
it was to be, reaching sky-high,
blazing in whiteness,
illuminated by an everlasting
orange sun
But it turned out to be rest,
a small body in white resting
on the concrete sidewalk,
twice on consecutive days
in the orange rising sun,
to then travel on modestly

Written in response to Three Word Wednesday #VXXVI – rest, sidewalk, twice
Interesting poetry.
I like the imagery.
it puts me in mind of ayn rands novel the the fountainhead…
Interesting. I’ve read it three times but will have to read it again later. I’m stuck on the image of the small body in white resting on the concrete sidewalk, after the image of the tall white edifice. Right now, that’s bothering me. So I’ll come back.
