Dark Rhythms
by Laryalee Fraser (Age: 68)
copyright 08-12-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
Reverberations pounded by the day
begin to wane. The slow, elastic throb
of shadow-fingers play their muted drum,
as twilight bends to stroke its feathered hush.

Nocturnal creatures sally forth, survey
the weakness of their prey. Their tongues will rob
the silence -- brazen notes, that mark the hum
of appetites aligned in mindless rush.

But ebbing tides and time hold final sway
above the surge of every writhing mob.
The hunters and the hunted all succumb
to gravity's revolving, ruthless crush.

And some absorb the light within the force,
while others chase the nightwind to its source.

Everyone already said it so well, but I am so impressed also with your versitality and your flawless rythym and flow!

And some absorb the light within the force,
while others chase the nightwind to its source... how true. I can never decide which beast am I.

Lary,

Once again, a sublime sonnet. This time, with a twist. The rhyme scheme is repeated in each quatrain, but not within the quatrain. So unique-- and so wonderful. Your meter is impeccable, as well.

I can only shake my head in awe of your versatility. And the theme was so well-furthered, as well. I especially liked "Their tongues will rob the silence-- brazen notes, that mark the hum of appetites aligned in mindless rush." That applies to humans as well, I think. :)

Thanks for sharing this with us. Well done!

An excellent poem, such imagery it inspires. And yet some things carry on relentlesly, unchanged by the forces of nature.

Well that's what I think anyway. Perhaps I am just rambling. Whichever it is, I liked it a lot.
