Poetic Experiement

Original Description:

The crystal longhouse sits atop the building. Next to skyward pointing pipes it keeps fragile life warm at a frigid height.


The Sad Version:

The crystal home sits lonely atop the world. The glass womb struggling to keep fragile life warm at a frigid height.


The Happy Version:

High aloft, ruling all the world from its perch, the glittering house is a warm bastion on a cold day. This wiser Icarus basks in the sun, living brightly.

Pretty good Patty Ray. Was the description purposefully poetic? It sounded great. I like how the description and the sad poem were phased so similarly. Interesting.
