Picture Window

By MikeShank1989

A framed pane stained from strained pain
A child tapping until the panel rattles your brain
An attic skylight feigning photosynthesis
Dramatic high flight, you fell short though Icarus
Refraction, frantic fractal attraction
Fragile faces, forced framed fractions
And though the sun may dust the pages on my writer's desk
The sight through the window to my mind's eye is hardly picturesque

    Thanks a ton Dev. I have a piece called "Small Things Cost the Most." I'd love some feedback on it.
