Tower

Listen to poem:

Imprisoned in thoughts at this midnight hour All directions of the horizon, my eyes do scour Searching for relief from this daunting power At its base, however, could anything flower? When black rain is the only moistening shower Attacking demons, always looking to devour My will, they be slain with intentional dour Battling from my highest point, I will not cower Never stopping, my intuitive will to empower In time, will the keys I make release me from this Tower?

A fantastic poem full of stunning and unique imagery. You also have very high-quality diction. In terms of form, I wouldn't call it free verse but rather a Monorhyme poem. I appreciate your kind words and your visit to my page. The opportunity to talk to you was awesome.

Your commentary is both humbling and honoring I am very appreciative of your analysis and correction of the form to which I put to this poem. I have revised that to your suggestion. I do struggle at times with how to correctly mark my work. Thank you again for the visit and the critique A.S.
