Elizabeth Smith Poet Couplet

A Fiery Creature

If there are humans on earth some years 
in the future
They'll notice the sun has turned into a fiery 
red creature
The sun is on a mission to eat the earth
In days to come sun will swallow earth, not 
even burp
If this is thought to be a  SciFi invention
It's 100% true this is the sun's intention
The solar system's end comes with sun's 
cannibalistic feat
When he's eaten the other planets as an 
after dinner treat
The reason for such actions is sun's 
burning days are thru
And if he's burning out the rest of his 
system is going too

THE UNIVERSE IS STRANGER THAN IMAGINED
THE UNIVERSE IS STRANGER THAN CAN BE IMAGINED

What's not even mentioned is sun's other tricks to harm
A coronal mass ejection and earth's bought the farm
The last CME (2012)  missed earth by a cosmic inch
The next will hit earth and that's a cinch

Notmy Realname November 12, 2015 at 11:26 PM I'm new here, and I'm not exactly sure how this works, but here I go: I like this poem. May I ask, did you have some deeper meaning or intentions behind this? What was your inspiration? I can see how this could easily be a metaphor for many different things, but I'm curious as to what you meant it to be. Elizabeth Smith November 14, 2015 at 1:08 AM I know how you feel. Still don't have the hang myself. Glad you liked it. No deeper meaning -just sort of fact and fantasy. It's an area of interest and I try to keep from getting too technical. I place the facts in a fantastical setting
