Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

A Kiss of Sunshine

The equinox in autumn evens out
the nights and days and makes them equal length.
I lie outside because I am devout,
but you, dear Sun, eventually lose strength.

I dream in winter of each afternoon
we meet in summer. . .  passion at its peak,
and I can play as if I'm a cocoon
wrapped in your heat till night time makes you weak.

Oh, Sun, I need again for you to surge
for hours on end, so I can take you in
and at the close of day, I can emerge
your monarch, tinged with scarlet for our sin.

Spring comes, and with it comes the moment when
a kiss of sunshine I will feel again!

Charlotte Puddifoot April 9, 2014 at 6:54 AM this is a very good one from you, andrea, I think this passionate personification of the sun is really clever; I especially like that line "your monarch, tinged with scarlet for our sin"...I'm seeing so many great poems on this list, it's difficult to comprehend why they didn't place in the original contests! anyway, congrats to you! :)

Hgarvey Daniel Esquire March 23, 2013 at 4:20 PM Dear Andrea, YOU fooled me I was going to read "Crackers for Carrots" Then I saw "A Kiss of Sunshine" and Thought it was for the contest "A Soup member worthy of a Tribute" by Richard Lamoureux.

Wayland Bunch March 21, 2013 at 8:24 PM I guess I didn't need an excuse to read this wonderful poem, but Jack Ellison is the Jack of my clerihew Jacks lol. I didn't notice that there were the exact poems with different names in the top hundred. I just happened to read some and they were a few lines and they weren't great Haikus, the weren't haikus or at, nor the other lol. This is a very wonderful poem in opposition to my theme soul of the night lol. Great Work.
