Personal Sound and Form Poems 11/12

(Imitating "the Eagle")

From above he throws down each ball,
and watches as each hits the wall,
one by one each of the balls fall.

The balls that fall they do not stall,
in fact they never slow at all,
and like the boy they all stand tall.

  1. The rhyme scheme adds a nice melody to the poem, but the message trying to be conveyed is a bit confusing. Even figuratively, how do they stand tall if they're falling in the first place?

  2. Abel raises some sharp observations. Is this paradox intentional?
