Shadows

Shadows

A Poem by Soren

Black and white, day becomes night
What is real? What is not?
Wrong turns into right in the twilight
What is, soon to be forgot

Hollow nothingness crawls
Empty shadows of darkness
Silhouettes on fantasy's walls
Black ghost of a living carcass

Out of nothing something is made
the antithesis of being
movement in a dark shade
absence is what you are seeing

An exquisitely penned metaphoric write. The magic of changes in nature is delightfully captured and I so agree that what is important is very soon forgot in the future.
The second stanza has some dark undertones, but they are finely depicted in both word and imagery.
The third stanza captures one's imagination:"Out of nothing something is made"... What a paradox! Wow!
Another poetic gem from your golden poetic pen, Soren. Truly amazing work! Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed reading very much...

You are too kind, I thank you for your gracious words that are most appreciated.
Hi Soren,
Been awhile since I have been on WriterCafe as I have been so very busy... But now I am back reading~ reviewing and actually posting... Boy did I miss it.
Anyway, I do like your poem...
Interesting ideas float off your page...
I especially like the words you use here....
Out of nothing something is made
the antithesis of being
movement in a dark shade
absence is what you are seeing
I do have one small suggestion and that is perhaps to include punctuation.
I am a big believer in a writers punctuation because it lets the reader know when to breath ~ if that makes sense...

Take care,
