Description

Daylight walked across her land,
With budded blossom in her hand.
The shadow of Night loomed over the hill
With darkness thick and silence shrill.
She long knew to run is naught;
The body of Night cannot be caught;
A countenance so strong and fierce,
With moonlit eyes that heartward pierce,
He stalked the dark with solemn truth,
And lands so stark and oft uncouth.
So atop the broken eastern tower,
Daylight placed another flower.

Later on, when she was far away,
And Night came up dressed all in gray,
He strode into the somber place,
With his cape of starlight lace.
His shadows found the tower's doom
And all the moonflowers went into bloom.

Really great work! Is this structure based on a specific traditional form, or did you make it up?

Thank you so much! I might be using a traditional form without realizing it, but I'm not very familiar with any of the technical components of poetry. I just kind of write what feels good and I really like to rhyme, haha

Ah, I love this! It feels very fantasy, like it belongs in Middle Earth, and I think the rhyming contributes to that. The imagery is well done throughout. I can really see what's happening, and I grow more interested, until I finally see it all culminate at the end in a beautiful moment. The length feels just right, too. This is definitely my favorite poetry piece of yours! I look forward to seeing more. Well done.
