Notes About The Poem

Death Spiral

The death spiral of a Space-X rocket
looking like a portal to an otherworld
where I long to enter and belong 
like velvet on a royal gown,
with silk ribbons in my braided hair 
flowing down the castle stair...
and a knight, my own Sir Gallahad,
vanquishing the dragons 
waiting to devour me.

Silpika Kalita March 25, 2024 at 5:26 PM Death itself is an enigma and here the metaphors are exactly going with the vibes . Difficult for dark subject, yet your lines excel. Have a blessed day! Chetta Achara March 25, 2024 at 5:47 PM Thank you for taking time to not only read my little verse, but also comment on it. I appreciate it.

Hilda Greenhough March 24, 2024 at 11:52 AM An enchanting poem. I was fascinated by the combining the futuristic with the medieval references. Chetta Achara March 24, 2024 at 12:09 PM Thank you. I think I actually spend too much time in an otherworld of fantasy, on second thought, maybe I don't spend enough time there!
