Literature Text

As water pools in clouds
of hair sparkling with light,
as rainbows entice to lands a far.

Temporal gems hidden in the leaves
of the sycamore trees struck
down by lighting;

replaced with towering cedars
in acts of defiance. Each one
surrounded by lime green violets.

Crackling skulls made of crystals,
line the spines of books. Each one
boring into my soul.

The second hand ticks by,
with a stuffed tiger lighted
against the screen,
turning a bluish hue.

You do paint a good picture. The imagery is first rate and easy to visualize. However, without knowing the beast behind the metaphor (as it were), I find the movement away from nature based imagery in stanza four to be a major disconnect. For a second I considered that this might be about a video game, which would put the disconnected imagery in context, but I can't be sure that is the case.
