Investment lesson 101.

Reach for the sky

Reach for the sky, if you'd fall,
on the soft clouds you'd land.
But not in a desert, no clouds,
probably fall right back on the sand!

The contextual flow is a bit rough but the metaphorical Idea is a sound one. The poem needs a rewrite. It would also be great if line 1 rhymed with clouds/ beclouds, shrouds, enshrouds, crowds. Or if line 3 rhymed with fall, which has a lot of rhymes. Rhyme scheme (ABAB). It would mean rewording while maintaining your thought. YOU have the metaphor in tact. just a bit of shuffling in the lines is needed. The writer's best tool is his vocabulary. A poet friend//RH Peat
