Sunshine Eats Its Armor

Sunshine Eats Its Armor Night is an old fish deep in a dark sea racing ever upward, emerging into light slow to eat more yet steady as she goes ever changing its tails, seeking life anew anticipating, a future never known, breaking against all speeding into a mist longed for by many, desires on every list Night is a new fish racing down to flee sunshine eats its armor deep, dark it wants to be Robert J. Lindley note: A little free verse tonight. Even as I try, poetic rhyme still sneaks in.. like a dog chasing a juicy bone..lol

Deep poetic piece, Robert. The metaphoric journey of night is greatly entertaining, and true. Great expression overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.

Thanks my friends. Strange musings have plowed my dark fields as of late.... Darkness stalks my heart. I slap it away only to see it returned with friends. My blade flashes , it races away for months. Yet life says all is well. Ignore those raging knocks from hell. A wolf must not be friends with the sheep..

Robert, A great write here My Good Friend!! I like the pace of this verse as you build out your imagery. With the "ever changing its tails" for some reason "fins" jumped into my mind and I thought "JAWS"!!! -- And then I thought, this cannot be so. Leave it to me to thing something like that HA HA!! This one is a very compelling thought-rendering verse, with the telling contrast between the Old Fish . . . New Fish. A Definite "7" on this Robert, and a FAV, so I can return to it. Best!! Gary

I know the feeling and how poetic rhyme always sneaks in no matter what you do. this is REALLY imaginative. I like it a lot.
