Sistine Chapel





who would force a pin
to scratch across perfect glass?
a fool destroyer
afraid to touch that finger
on the high ornate ceiling

  1. The picture, quote, title and lines merge to provide that depth that poetry often seeks but misses, very nicely done.

  3. Attempting to put a flaw in glass? No,no; this is not good and the urge must be resisted! Some is so tough it will blunt pins and they are useful if used for a good purpose.

    And that finger, it reaches down to touch you.

  5. Dodo ,tough glass is not attractive to destroyers,only finely wrought fragile glass..petit point in the fingers of a boxer.
