Where lies Future?

The image is taken from Google and edited. 

Where lies future? Curious,
I stare into the daylight
as the sun smiles glorious,
faint hope blooms to my delight.

I reach for the galaxy,
stretching to touch the starlight.
Clouds snowed on my fantasy,
turning me numb with frostbite.

It must be my delusion;
Life, I know is a tutor.
Yet remains the confusion.
So I ask, where lies future?



Trying out a new poetry style called the Ae Freislighe. (It's an Irish style of poetry.)

  1. I really appreciated how closely these rhymes worked. English is so hard to fit into this form, and you found words that worked surprisingly well.

  2. You're so brave to attempt the poetry and you pulled it off really well! I love the line "clouds snowed on my fantasy"

  3. Really nice imagery throughout. The fantasy snow and tangible galaxies made for cool scenes in my head as I was reading. I thought maybe a few lines could be tweaked here and there. For example, "Where lies future?" had me inserting "the" in it. I couldn't figure out why the article was missing, except to hit the syllable count.

    1. Thank you, Nathan. It was exactly to hit the syllable count. It was the best I came up with at that time. :)
