Architecture

by Aegis   Feb 7, 2017


I will erect statues;
in every park
and in every city.
I will rearrange the stars,
modeled in your fashion.
The wolves will howl your name
and the trees will reach skyward-

forever striving to stand
as tall as

you.

    I'm guessing that this poem is a tribute to someone? She must be very special, and your words give her that justice. Well done!

    Aegis, this is another perfect write by you and one that makes you think about the different directions it can go in so to speak which is what I love about your poetry as it make look easy on the eye but if you think about it there's so much more to it in my opinion.

    Title- I like this as it is quite straight to the point or is it? One wonders.

    I shall separate this where the full stops are an tell you my interpretation.

    1/ I like the beginning here as it links to the title by putting up statues but it does make me wonder why you'd do this.. Is it because you're a builder, a maniac (sorry) or are you in love? And personally I would think the first or latter especially if you aren't a builder lol no, in all seriousness love does make us do silly things or is that just me??

    2/ This seems to clarify (to me) that this person means alot to you and even if you aren't together you'd do anything for them even by starting to rearrange the stars possibly into constellations of things they like, I just imagined that and how nice it would be.

    3/ This is absolutely beautiful. The imagery of wolves howling this persons name and the trees reaching up to be near them but no in a twist of fate..

    4/ ...they thrive to be this person because to you and them this person is amazing and someone worth looking upto, right? How perfect.

    Loved this and sorry I missed it.

      The statues were just my way of cementing their existence into something long lasting. But I'm also a maniac haha. Nevertheless, you were pretty spot on as always

    Love the line breaks in this! It makes it so intimate and gives focus to how precious this person/model/inspiration is. How they have molded you into who you are today. I find such deep meaning in this, great work!
