DARK LIGHT OF NIGHT

Michael Edwards

 

 

DARK LIGHT OF NIGHT

 

 

The sun is bright but try as I might

I’m more inclined to the dark of night

For I love the moon which makes its mark

By giving us light whenever it’s dark

But the sun, sad to say, is not so bright

it only comes out whenever its light.

    A great poem whether taken literally or metaphorically nicely done

    • Michael Edwards

      A play on words but can be taken in other ways - Thanks S

      A fine write M. Who could not like Stanley - ahh!
      Yes, is the sun wasted, only coming out when it's light already?! lol.
      You seen Colonel Berle-Ington (Burlington)? Any relation to Miss Berles?

      • Michael Edwards

        Stanley is a joy - so loving and a good little pooch. Colonel B is no relation but they do both come from Bow.

        You will find your light again dearest Michael, it will come back when you least expect it, oh your photo of that gorgeous dog makes my heart warm. 🌹

                It was a lovely moon last night - quite sandy coloured in a clear sky but Just returned from walking Stanley this morning and it is grey, bleak, cold and if it wasn't for the trees in full leaf you'd think it was winter.

                that's nice, i love its hidden meaning

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                I absolutely love this! It is a piece that is left open to interpretation. I can absolutely relate with it, being a nocturnal creature. An awesome play on words, which I am a huge fan of. Well done! Excellent write and an easy favorite! Oh...and hello Stanley!

                • Michael Edwards

                  Aw thanks tristan - and a big thank you from Stanley

                • A.H. Browning

                  I really like this. And I was smitten that I had no choice but to read when I saw the big puppy eyes 🙂
