I Like, I don't Like...(contest) by:eddy styx

I Like, I Don't Like...
by: eddy styx

I like dark moon, cloudy skies,
no stars to light my way.
the darker the better
at the dying of the day.

I don't like sunshine
splashing over the land,
where people lie on the beach
on towels on the sand.

I like shadows
where I can be hidden,
watching the careless
the foolish come unbidden.

I don't like loves first blush,
seeping under the skin
as a game of chance,
you just can't win.

I like darkened paths
as much as gloomy trails.
with my blade, I like to silence
her screams and wails.

I don't like cautious women
they put me off my game,
it's hard to strike
(if they know my proper name.)

The language use is good, [not a bunch of tongue twisters] and plain words to explain.
The rhythm is fast, and the theme is of a ruthless predator and well done. The beginning and ends are totally
what you would expect from eddy and his game. Great stuff!
~ Geez.

have been bugging me about that! It seems that Killer and Sir Gee both have something to say, and of course Anubis has a tail to tell. ~ Geez.

that is good to know! sometimes I get impatient with the 1 poem every 24 hours rule but I understand why it must be that way.

The dark undertones and murderous thoughts combined with a bit of romanticism in Eddie's thoughts. He is methodical and driven. A pleasure to read.
