Prompt #51 Pairings

  

P a i r i n g s

The dynamics of complementary opposites is the very essence of creation. Thus, yin (moon, dark, feminine) must be complemented by yang (sun, light, masculine). With this most elementary pairing, comes life and rebirth. Write a yin/yang poem based on any kind of pairings, which are complementary. Examples are endless. Take your pick of East/West, Black/White, Sweet/Sour, Hands/Feet, Old/Young, Full/Empty, Presence/Absence, Work/Leisure, Window/Door, or create your own pairings. You may even want to play with form by expressing your poem in Prose/Verse.

Continued good writing to all participating in the April poem-a-day NaPoWriMo.
