Analysis Of The Looming Fate

Ever since I was a young child I have been always fascinated by the idea of death, a large looming ideology that broods over people and drives them to do all sorts of weird things in their lives, so I guess once could say that I was fascinated by the power it held over people. Thus, this ultimate factor of all life served as my inspiration for writing this piece. The structure of, “The Looming Fate”, is one that follows the ABC rhyme scheme for I believed that it would make the piece structured, but not overall forcing the rhyming factor in. I had a desire to structure the piece as three individual stanzas, each one telling its own story, a story that would reflect an adjective of death. This first being the shattering of glass revealing the fragility of life while simultaneously portraying how something can’t escape death. When a sheet of glass is scattered it may seem random, but the crystalline structure almost insures that no large sections will remain, thus, no section of the glass is secure, portraying the inescapability of death. The second stanza tells the story of a lightning strike for the light that it produces can be seen miles away from the point of occurrence. With the light it yields being observable seemingly everywhere no matter how far away you are from it, thus, it reflects the second quality of death, that it surrounds you and there is no measure or safety
The last main stanza is telling the story of time, it being set and unwavering. It steadily progresses with nothing in the past
