Rise and Fall
May 30, 2013
Rising sun, rising moon,
Increasing into the deep blue,
Later comes Dawn,
Time to be bygones,
Decreasing is your fate,
And the night is late.
Life is like East and West,
Rise and Fall,
We all fall,
We all rise,
And our surprise,
Is to wake every mornings light,
And to sleep at the sun-setting night.

I like that it's short yet carries a powerful message. If I could offer some suggestions for improvement, I would tell you to be careful with punctuation. Some people seem to be under the impression that it's necessary to have it at the end of each line, but it's really not. That's about it for criticism. :P It would be cool if you could check out one of my poems and leave your feedback/rating in return if you have the time. Keep writing :)
