Question: Poem!?!? critiques!?!?
How can i improve this poem!?
Pseudo-Icarus

A real legacy
Of broken wings,
Shattered dreams,
And melting

Building it up
Just to watch if fall
Crumbling beneath flames
Was it ever built at all!?

A forever sky,
A short step down
At the end there would be
No diamond crown

The Heavens were not
The destination
Only the extent
Of inspiration

What can come
Of prosperity!?
Only tales and stories
To entertain posterity

But what is the result
Of falling fast!?
Only a swifter demise
And nothing to last

The sun-so great
An immense endeavor
Only challenged by
The intrepid and clever

Wax and feathers
The greatest allies
Malleable and light
Most visible to eyes

Both elements were formed
Into durable wings
Nimble and daring
Among other things
But alas!
The Achilles heel
No unmeltable wax
And no feathers of steel

An even truer legacy
Of phoenix risings-
The sun settled
On the horizonWww@QuestionHome@Com
