Lights and Kinds and Types and Nights

Lights and Kinds and Types and Nights

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.

"
certain types of people
only look good when things look bad
and certain kinds of people
always look bad when things look good
very few can look the same
under sunlight or the moon
but most will never know
what it is they truly look like
thanks to certain types of people
under certain kinds of light
and the precious few who look the same
under daylight or the night

I've rated you 95/100 mainly due to the fact that 100/100 would be the best piece I've ever read. And I haven't read nearly enough to be able to rate this as my favorite. BEFORE I LOSE MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT, what had caught my attention were the lines
"But most will never know
what it is they truly look like
thanks to certain types of people
under certain kinds of light
and the precious few who look the same
under daylight or the night"

What was your interpretation of the day and night concept? Are they hiding in plain sight? With alterior motives, and tricks up their sleeves?

Lots of truth in this. I like how you are stating the obvious without bluntly saying it. Very nice piece of work.

Interesting and powerful. I like the repetition of the word "certain" because it pinpoints what is said about various people and ways, plus it's just a pretty-sounding word. You build with contrasts to something (some people) you see as consistent in the last couple of lines. I like that choice - to tell about opposites until you're ready to say what you find particularly rare and steady. Good.

This is so true in so many ways. There are some people that, I believe, make themselves purposefully difficult to understand.

Take care - Dave

Oh sometimes people are very talented at changing their light to suit circumstance and and I know I have been fooled by some but maybe that says more about me than them. Good write!

Contrast, it's important, live in full spectrum on both sides of the coin, honor it all, the good the bad, the dark the light.

“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.”
― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

Interesting to consider at all that light may "think", something to ponder in the electrical storm we may call thought.
