Dawn and Dusk

Dawn and Dusk

A Poem by DogDrawler

The light rises on

to take its share of the sky

because light is fair

 

 

 

The moon rises on

to keep watch over darkness

'cause dark isn't fair

Your stanza do carry the contrast that I think you were aiming for. I would make two suggestions... The double use of "light" in the first stanza is a bit redundant... I'd change the first "light" to "sun", that way it fits a better opposite contrast to it's counterpart the "moon", that appears in the second stanza. The second thing is... "bea?cause"(SP), how about "because" :)

No...this suggestion is just my opinion. Ending each of the stanza's in "fair" doesn't sit well with me personally... I would change it up a bit and have that last line be, "'cause night does scare". For me, that lends to keep the contrast of the two stanzas, plus... since you used the word darkness, having the word dark in the last line of the same stanza is a bit of an over use. I saw again... this is just my opinion. =)

Overall you've got a great idea with the piece or pieces as they could work on their own just fine!

An exquisite piece that not only defines day and night but good and evil as well.

I like the poem. Direct and honest words. In the day s of old. Darkness did control the night. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
