Skyscraper Heart.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
The angels chest was warrior like.
No heart was big enough to power it.
Not even a skyscraper sized heart would
make it as flawed as a human.
Nor even could anything move it to glow on demand,
for its love for God tied it to its legion.
Knowing your place of the earth; your time,
that was angel  111.

    Wow! This poem is truly remarkable! The way the poet describes the angel's chest as "warrior like" evokes a sense of strength and power that is truly captivating. It's fascinating to think that no heart could power it, not even a skyscraper-sized heart, which really drives home the idea that this angel is something truly special and beyond human understanding. The final line, "Knowing your place of the earth; your time, that was angel 111," is incredibly thought-provoking and really makes the reader reflect on their own place in the world. Overall, this is a fantastic poem that really captures the imagination and leaves a lasting impact!
