Day is to Night
Morning light
Shadows play
In the eves of day

Dusk is to Dawn
Innocent like a fawn
Seeping into a new phase
Creating a misty haze

Sun is to Moon
A brilliant gloom
Bathing in beams of light
Casting a beautiful sight

Clouds are to Stars
Make shapes from afar
Gazing up above
Mystery is a sign of true love

This compares and contrasts elements of day and nature with some hidden meaning behind it as an added bonus.

love the last line.... "Mystery is a sign of true love" it makes sense, while making perfect un-sense at the same time :) it makes you think. making connections with our own lives to understand the full potential of this poem. Great job :)

I thought it was very vivid, and made me see the things you were describing. Keep up the good work!

I love this!(: i like it just the way it is, without anything taken out!(: its amazing how you can write a poem like this that paints a picture, but also has a hidden meaning(:

I really like this poem it's very, very good. But at the end you could take out the is and it would still run together just fine but either way it's very good :) but very good ^.^
