rise/set

a whimsical poem about how two things that look the same can be as different as.. well, day and night :P

the drawstrings of the earth

tie the sun to the trees,

to the earth's thick skin,

to the atmosphere,

the stratosphere

 

the horizen blends together,

creating a gushing wound in the sky,

of golden and fuschia hues

 

the sunset is a myriad of colors

while the sunrise is on the other side,

reflecting the image,

but holding a different message

lovely poem holding simple complexity. the last verse is a poem all in itself. nice writing.

Wow simple message yet powerful word usage.. love the way you colour your words!!! Especially the part:

the horizen blends together,
creating a gushing wound in the sky,
of golden and fuschia hues

What a different and unique take on painting sky.. creating a gushing wound.. totally different from anything I have read.. I can't really draw on the meaning behind it but if definitely stands out! Thank you for sharing!!!!

I like this. It is so neat how simple/complexities that go on in the world around you can be accurately compared to life.
