Preston Wilkin Poem

The process in writing this poem was pretty simple. It took me about 45 minutes to write the whole thing. How I wrote it was that I would come up with a sentence that I liked and wanted to use. Next I would find a word to rhyme with the line above and the create a sentence to match the idea of the stanza and the line above, and so on and so forth.  In this poem i was trying to portray the feelings Philippe had about the walk and his preparations to cross the towers. In the end this is what I came up with.

Up in the Sky

By: Preston Wilkin

Up in the sky

Stood a tower so high

And a little away 

Stood its twin clear as day

The towers great height

Gave some men a fright

But one had a dream 

To cross on a wire not a beam

He prepared for years

Through blood sweat and tears

To cross on a cable

When he thought he wasn't able

And when the day came

He had no fear and no shame

To dance on the cable

simply because he was able.

Up in the sky

Between the towers so high

A man's dream was for filled

And left the whole world thrilled
