The Future Unknown
May 2, 2013
The future unknown is a door
Behind which we may not look
The future unknown is a veil
Through which we may not view
The future unknown is a hill
Over which we may not see
The future unknown lies a misty, bending path before unsure feet
The future unknown is our eyes shut tight, we may not peek
The future unknown is a dragon across the mountain, a river around
the bend
The future unknown is a thought transcend
We wish a glimpse. We wish to peek.
What we do, to whom we speak.
But what would happen if we could see?
That day would live in infamy.

Wow. I really like this. I have thought about the prospect of seeing the future many a time. This explores a topic rarely seen in poetry. I love this.

I loved the line "the future unknown is a thought transcend"- that's really a great comparison. Overall, I thought this was really good. It had a nice rhythym to it, and the reption worked well. Besides from that though, it explored an interesting topic, and the last line poses a great thought about it we could see the future. Great job!
