Default Hilarly Biehl, Autmn Sky

Hilary has a poem "Icarus at the amusement park" in to-day's Autumn Sky. Killer last line.

Wow. The last two lines are fantastic. I also enjoyed the "something's gone wrong" effect of the slant-rhyming between stanzas. Kudos, Hilary!

Terrific, Hilary. “rib by rib” is an amazing moment, and so is that closing line. The whole poem is striking—love it. Congratulations!

Congrats Hilary!

Great poem. The amusement park metaphor works really well, and what a close!
