Differences

Battered square peg in a round hole, a bleating lamb lies with a roaring lion
drip of water on a burning coal, Mohamed moved to Zion
Pull knotted rope through a needle's eye, a dry cactus in a marsh
If not on an elephant then on a horse fly, a glove velvet harsh
Color red green, close to blue yellow
Draw the unseen, a girl now a fellow
Opposites attract flies, truth lays with lies
dressed in harlequin disguise when the fading shadow dies

A wonderful thought provoking write filled choc-o-bloc with opposites (differences). As you so poetically say in the seventh line of the poem, opposites attract just like the positive and negative in a battery. Two positives or two negatives won't work, it takes one of each. Our world is full of contradictions, dear Soren and you have sublimely embroidered a few of them into this flawlessly inked poem. Great work! Thank you for sharing, dear friend

They say that opposites attract but I've noticed many moths are flummoxed by a candle flame; thinking it, some greater light. Perspective is everything. I enjoyed the read. F.
