7 Different Ways of Looking at the Sun
7 Different Ways of Looking at the Sun
I.
Midday, exquisite donut in the sky
Illuminating, blinding, yellow
Shining upon the face
Of an annoyed passerby
II.
Beautiful, Heavenly body, full of wonder
Rising one hour, falling the next
Who can but tell
What queer action now will occur
III.
A giant ball of hot gas
Like a rather large star
Unwavering, Immovable
Planets of various girth
Surround its great entity
IV.
Late afternoon
The temperature starts to drop
Meadows of pinks and oranges
Fill the sky
V.
The leader, the take charge man
While others merely follow
He looks upon them with a watchful eye
VI.
I am one with him
And he is one with me
We go together hand in hand
I know not where we will go,
But I put my full trust in him
VII.
Ah, humanity
Why must you take me for granted?
I give you life, I give you light.
But you, you give me nothing.
You ought to look up
As if I were only seen once
Every hundred years.
Do not ignore the beauty that
Surrounds you.
For you will be gone too someday
As I fill with hostility

Like a rather large star
The sun is a ball of gas and is a star.

I liked this. You did a good job for something you were forced to do.
Oh, and the sun (proper name Sol, hence Solar System) is a small star, not a large one.

agreed, it was a nice attempt, but could have been done a bit better

It was done very well in my opinion. I myself would find it hard to get 4 verses about something like the sun... I actually had a fairly hard time with [The Virtue of Patience] which is only 4 or 5 verses.
A great job nonetheless :)
