Lunar Might Poem by Nikunj Sharma

Lunar Might

Rating: 4.9


No matter how blinding is your ray,

I too shall have my day.

You being reduced to a minnow;

I shall have my moment to show.


You gave me light;

You gave me life;

And you gave me humiliation too.

I have lived all my life, to live that moment true.

When for a few minutes, I shall overshadow;

Over your surface, I shall grow.

A moment of pride and strength;

when the whole universe shall see through;

Me engulfing you.

I too, will have my day-Or I also will have my day-reads better than I shall too-I too shall have my day reads good....but because you use the word shall again in the very next line-shall is used too much, too soon. Just an idea or suggestion for you. Good poem, well written. Very powerful too. :) Deborah Cromer

For some reason I just didnt enjoy this poem as your other poems. Im not quite too sure why i lost my focus but, some of the metaphors were good some others were weak. BUT thats just in a teenagers opinion! !
