This poem should be in an anthology of contemporary poems. I mean it. There's not one false step, and the poem is just as long as it should be. Two lines really caught me 1) Soft hands, cloud-gloved, whisper to the wind. That is breathtaking it's so beautiful - I expect your city morning poem will have this quality.2) Scrambling on another's shoulders...to get a glimpse of the sun. This line states the theme vividly and concisely. And the repetition of the last line as a vertical line is inspired. This is what I think: What Shelley's great sonnet Ozymandias meant to people of Napoleon's Age this poem means for our modern age. YES! 87781
