The tiny hole made my heart flutter
What lies beyond the wall?
I tiptoed towards the imposing barrier
What lies beyond the wall?
No one ever answered my question
What lies beyond the wall?
Insisted, I do not think
What lies beyond the wall?
But how could I not ask,
What lies beyond the wall?
Not know the answer to my dreams
What lies beyond the wall?
Why can't my clipped wings fly over
What lies beyond the wall?
With tears in my eyes, I yearned
What lies beyond the wall?
As a burly man stood guard
What lies beyond the wall?
Ready to capture those who dare
What lies beyond the wall?
The twilight sky sent me to my mother
What lies beyond the wall?
She reminded me to be grateful to look at the moon,
What lies beyond the wall?
Yet, I continue to dream,
What lies beyond the wall?
Million dollar question..... what lies beyond the wall?
ReplyDeleteMillion dollar question..... what lies beyond the wall?
ReplyDeleteYes. :)
DeleteMy favorite part of this poem is the enjambment of the lyric line into the burden line in the stanza "Insisted, I do not think\what lies beyond the wall."
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Nathan! :)
DeleteI like how the repeated line blended well as an ending to the first line in the first part of the poem, but towards the end it seemed like there were a few words missing that could have made it read more like the beginning stanzas.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for pointing it out. :)
DeleteYes, there were a few issues with connecting the lines because I felt adding (about/to/for) at the end might get a bit too much. I'll have to find a way to phrase it better. :)
