ziggy stardust

This ode to a songbird is written beautifully, featuring Percy Bysshe Shelly's iconic writing abilities of great imagery provided by his impeccable vocabulary, he tells of a supposed ideal human world of happiness without sadness or dreariness, when truly, having only joy can cause unintentional detriment. Lacking a consistent meter, the unique rhyme scheme is pleasant. Though Shelly's atheistic beliefs often show in his writing, this poetry references multiple times to the Christian Bible, telling of a possible change of heart.
