day and night

The brightness of day, the prey.

He runs away as fast as he can.

And so the world prepares for their new arrival.

 

The darkness of night, the predator.

She pounces on the sun and takes it away from us.

For some, this is a crisis,

and they lock themselves inside to turn on their fake suns until the real on returns.

And she allows this,

For she is feminine, and her motherly instincts take over.

 For others, it is a celebration,

And they relish in her presence.

 

Now it is her turn to be the prey,

And his to be the predator.

He chases her away for now,

And the cycle begins anew

 

Night is now gone and the sun returned.

For some, this is their celebration,

And they flock to and fro to relish in each other's, and his, presence.

For others, Night's disappearance is a crisis.

They try to get into the shadows,

but find that he is more definite in his presence than she.

He is more masculine, and thus his attack more profound.

Author notes

I felt like personifying something.So i personified day and night: basically the sun and the moon.

    Thank you for your entry. However, I have to sat that you seem to have misread the rules of my "Celebrating Poetry and Poets" competition. For I can find no allusion in it to either poetry or poets. I wish you success with it elsewhere - but for this competition it really is a non-starter.

    Very original idea and quite cleverly executed. Just my personal preference, but I would like to see this pared down a bit as I think the beauty of this piece would really shine if it were less wordy. Thank you for entering my contest.

    This makes me think of Lions fighting ... an interesting, thought provoking write.
