Castle of Light
Our castle is filled with jewels and crystal chandeliers.
Lasers flash on and off heightening my senses and fears.
Rainbows of light bounce off the white plaster dome.
In the morning, the sun light reflects off all the chrome.
The crystal prisms spin and flash colors so bright.
Like all fantasies, this dream is just God’s light.
I close my eyes and you are always in my sight.

"Great content but ... this piece is missing the music, the smooth flow of words falling as they are read aloud. I suggest reading more poetry, Billy Collins is one of my favorite modern poets. Richard (themoonman)" -

"I agree with you about free verse and that a lot of feeling can be lost in the search of a perfectly structured poem.Why not mix it? Why not use the tools of poem like association saturated, dense expression and interna…" -

"your language usage was good but the rhyming pattern became a bit muddled towards the end of the poem. to answer the question your poem poses is, no, great poetry does not have to rhyme. in fact, I am very fond of free…" -
