 Catching Stars 2007-04-19 . chapter 1Okay, in the summary you asked what we thought about so I will tell you!
First the image I get from it... at first I thought of her as an angel, mainly because of the title but by the end she seems more like just a human being, it's as if she is frustrated at being stuck 'here' and wishing she could leave it all behind but without any wings she can't. This next bit is guessing... At the begining you mention her on the roof, and then later 'Creeps towards the edge / Of her salvation' maybe towards the edge of the roof, she jumps but without her wings she doesn't fly. Suicide...
So there you go, that's what I read from it and if i'm anywhere close to what you intended then you are a very clever writer! This poem has grown on me, at first I thought the shorts lines and sometimes over obvious rhyming was a little basic but now I love it. The images and descriptions you used were beautiful but clever at the same time. And the almost 'basicness'of it made it all the better! I might go and look at some more of your work... it fact I definately will.
