Re: Night: Starless

I enjoyed the rhyme scheme within this poem. Some people tend to confuse rhyming with forcing, but I disagree. I can relate to the poem that way since a great deal of the music I listen to is written in the same format. I would say this poem is about a girl who is pining to be a girl with long legs or fair skin. But then again the appearance does not seem to matter to that of someone similar with no sight. It's as if you want to be transcended beyond that of looks. This comes out in line, "So I may be creature fair as she who has more limbs than me". "Transcend me now so I may float". "Allow me to be a solid stone, limbless as I be".
