Contrasting

Contrasting are colors
So are we with fractures of light
Love - hate are just 2 sides
Of knife that cuts my mind sharply

Opposites attract, although differences may prove too much. Enjoyed this poem, because it's a little bit different

hi there nice post but you look hot and what is your secret

Thank you both. totally agree. when the differences are significant, the opposites remain the attraction but in the middle of nowhere. just gotta to move on to something more compatible, not just temptation.

Hi Sweetie,

Has the quality of a haiku about it. Well done.

Thank you. I don't know about haiku but in vietnam, we have 6-8 couples or verses where the last sound of 6 syllable sentence shares the rhyme of the 4th of 6th syllable of the 8 syllable sentence and the last sound of 8 syllables sentence shares the rhyme of the 6th syllable of the 6 syllable sentence

A haiku is a traditional Japanese poem. It has three lines. The first has 5 syllables, the second 7 and the third 5.
The lines don't rhyme and the subject is usually nature. So it might go something like this:
"Wondrous Christmas bush,
Your leaves dying in bright red,
The time has now gone."
I just made that up...but hopefully you get the format. They are quite a famous poetic form.

Thank you for your explanation. I used to think that lines in poems should share rhymes

Very concise and insightful poem viewing
love and hate as contrasting colors.

In view of the lovely rose pictures you posted in some of your blogs,
and Macduff's comment re haiku,
I wish to dedicate the following haiku to you and your roses:

on the rose petals
sparkling with the morning sun
bright dewdrop diamonds

Have a nice day!

beautiful. Thank you Socrates. this reminds me of my poem when i was 14, same spirit. I was so much inspired by the sparkling dewdrop on rose petals by an innocence young girl. unfortunately i lost the 2 poem notebooks of junior and senior high school years
