Alex Corns Poet Rhyme

Dichotomous Hours

A child’s smiling face 
A sunrise shining on a field of flowers 
An orchestra fluidly keeping pace
In this World of ours

A hateful cold man’s face 
A bomb’s blast sees ash from flesh makes rock from towers 
An ocean of starvation born of greed’s embrace 
On this Earth of ours 

A distracted blank face
A mind of apathy denies thought empowers
An era in darkness begs light to erase
In this Time of ours

akira artly October 1, 2026 at 6:06 AM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
