All Comments on '5 Miles High And 60 Below'

I do like the poem, but I did have a bit of trouble with the first line. "lines" is being used as a verb, right? I think if it read this way, "Ice lines the sharp bisecting sky" it would work better, at least for me.

I've read and re-read this poem. It is evocative and nebulous. It won't settle in my mind, it floats, telling me I have not 'gotten' it yet. Must read again. And again. Until that moment of clarity when the imagery settles like a snowflake upon an eyelash.

PS: I do think 'bisecting' is the verb, Eve

Has the feel of a

Lewis Carroll rhyme

Describing the scene while flying

Five miles high...

Ebullient moon - twinkled star - nighttime in the heavens.

There is a quiet mystical strength to this work.
