Poem Commentary

So I know it's not up to my usual poems but this was the first poem I wrote, and so I decided to post it.

Night and Day

Night will come and swallow day
in a very predictable pattern.
Much like a hunter, eating its prey
but in the end it doesn't matter.

Because soon day will come again
and glorious light will follow,
While all that is left of the darkness
are the cool and distant shadows.

Harmony through paradox. I could write poetically about night and day and never get tired of it. The balance man, the balance :) Good poem, cool picture. Reminds me of the struggle we do with ourselves.

Thanks eclipse, I feel like you really get my poem and It means so much to me anyone has that much understanding! ShadowStealer=-)

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
