A very well-written Alfred Dorn Sonnet. There is beauty all around even in made made buildings. If we look beyond the obvious we can always find other wonders. A great capture of the heart cloud.

Thank you Sandra. I couldn't agree more.
Comment from RodG
Thank you for introducing ME to a new kind of sonnet--the Alfred Dorn. I am very impressed with how you utilized its unique features to describe the heart of this city. The poem almost mimics what we're seeing, especially stanza two which relates visually to the verse "the buildings bonded using bridge techniques." I can easily see how the photo inspired the poem.

Comment from Joan E.
Welcome back and here's to a harmonious new year!
Thanks for sharing another of your mesmerizing Animated Stills and the less used sonnet form for your ekphrastic. I enjoyed your rhymes and "mountain peaks" simile plus "canyons" metaphor. Your final line is quite evocative. Huge hugs- Joan

Comment from DionysusDeVille
This poem beautifully reflects the imagery of an urban jungle. The poem flows effortlessly and streams without causing distraction. The image is easily planted into the mind of the reader so that they feel like they are there experiencing it for themselves

Thank you Dionysus for that wonderful review.
Comment from Linda Kay
I really enjoyed reading this (twice in fact!). I was intrigued by the format, and think you showed skill in following the rhyme scheme without making it seem forced. I appreciated the message that beauty can be found in the man-made setting, not just in the green of nature.
