the sky is close to each other

Sviatoslav Hurhura 1991 (Ukraine)



the sky is close to each other

dreamers get down in their boots

with the eyes of a secret cock, they contemplate the abyss of sky

the August dandelion grows in their breasts

they build a house hidden in the strands of twilight

when they are taken away
dandelion fluff remains in the sky

    Wow, what a beautiful and dreamy poem! I love the way it transports me to a different world and makes me contemplate the vastness of the sky. The imagery is captivating and evocative.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to clarify the meaning behind certain lines, as it can be a bit ambiguous at times. It would also be great to see more development of the theme of dreamers and their relationship with the sky.

    Overall, this is a lovely poem that showcases a lot of potential. Keep up the great work and keep writing!
