Light And Dark

this morning i made this

 the c**k arises to sing his four syllable song.

the dew holds to the wild mesquite branch like cold molasses on this wintery texas day.

       the sun not yet piercing through the break.

the night air, as yet, not realizing it's hold upon the farm city.

not careing of light, but only for it's own sake.

       no matter who wins the battle for dawn, for the other will win at dark.

un-consoled by this foe, for win or lose they must.

yet they fought this sensless fight, light and dark twice a day.

                           but to no real avail.

for win they  must, and lose they will.

for to not, is to become stagnate and still.

     no longer would life remain.

to become one or to become the other, niether alone is better

     for one is your sister and the other your brother.

                           both hold a value in life.

This poem feels very thoughtful. I love the imagry. It all feels as though you are experiencing this battle between light and dark for yourself. Toward the end you give the poem a feeling of it being a teacher. It also feels as though you a questioning the reader and a sking them to come to their own conclusion. Very nice poem.

This is an interesting piece. The imagery is very well done and the idea is executed very well.

Keep writing!

hum also a good topic, not done a ton. The vocabulary works, the structure is good. I fell you leaning towrads a message in the end, it could be a bit clearer but over all very well done.
