Lake on Central Park
The King surveys his victory upon a great vantage. His swords crossed in salute to the lake-ocean, which lies below his great keep. The rock and stone rise swiftly to meet his titanic tower. Upon the palisades a cool wind roils banners which fan his enemies cold with fear until they quake and fall prostrate, backs bent forward in deference to his godly might. Yet, to be thus is nothing and safely thus is nothing still when, this bank a shoal of time will wash away into the lock and the rock and stone are battered down again by soft winds and rain. When great Birnam wood rises to reclaim the earth from man's fleeting grasp, who will remember the King or his keep?

I like this because it's a unique perspective, an interesting way to see a body of water. The imagery of war is great and that reminds me of King Triton from the Little Mermaid for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI love the imagery going on here. The word choice gives a wonderful picture painted in the mind. The only problem i could have have would be that it is somewhat difficult to understand what is happening in to the king, but other than that, great job.
