Backward Mutters

Poetry Pub’s November Poem a Day Challenge’s prompt for Day four is: Bright/Dark.

Here’s an attempt.

Noon is noon.
It resists our manipulation
In spite of attempts at hour inflation
It comes neither late or too soon.

New is new.
The moon wanes each month does not listen
To songs, waxes full with drips glistens
Just once is a moon very blue

Let it go
Time is relative, is bright and dark
Contrast in value is what makes life’s art
Bright/dark paints chiaroscuro.
