Life

What lurks through the night?
Or swims with all it's might?
What prowls for it's prey?
Or nurtures it's young day by day?
What catches the rain with it's leaves?
Or grows fruit for whoever that needs?

~Life Does~

Great poem! I love what you've done here by comparing an abstract term like "life" and placed it into/compared it to concrete forms, such as that of animals that "[prowl] for [their] prey". The fact that you use multiple contrasting comparisons, one minute "life" violently searches for prey, the next "life" is a nurturing parent, really drives home how life is omnipresent (if that's the word I'm looking for :P). Lovely!

Can I ask what you were specifically trying to communicate through this poem? I could guess and interpret on my own (as I've sort of done), but I'm very much intrigued :) It's just so well written and thought out XP

I was just showing through my poem that life is so vast and different from one another, but yet in all comparison. It is still life.
