EMBLEM :CHURCH WALL

Emblem-The Church Wall

Look there,do you see the wall of red brick

        each upon the other:

          leans with great care.

 

One joined evenly next to the other

              bonded together in

               equality:

 

Participating in their purposes combining ,

                 each their strengths

                 the load to share:

 

Weathered with the storms of life on its face

enduring through

eternity:

NOTE:an emblem poem,with a crude picture of an everyday scene,underwhich is a motto- followed by the poem.which is to teach,rather like a parable.This example of my was inspired by George Herbert's The Churche-Floore

This emblem picture is like a metonym visually (eg. 'The eagle has landed') - and your poem enriches it. I like how the wall leans over the text and you can hold the image and the words together (parallel systems - visual and language) - very memorable and meaningful. J :)
