The Fountain Poem by John Kipling Lewis

The Fountain

Rating: 3.9


the fountain railing holds back
the children from a pool of
water that has a siren's call

the children want to play inside, under.

the pool is certain death.

in my minds eye,
i see the fountain without the rail

It's good but I think the words could use a little reworking.

8. The first part is great. Sustain those concrete, original images. 'Mind's eye' is cliched.
