Red Sun

I squint at the big red sun 
In a sky full of pink clouds
And wonder what it looks like
On other planets

Hi Jack, I love your Dodoitsu, it is very visual, best of luck, yes I wonder what sun other planets see, thanks so much for all your comments on my poetry, as you can tell I was on a writing spree, day off, so I just went for it, oh I had a scare with Violet Kitty a few days ago, but the vet said each day is a blessing when you are a sixteen year old cat, said she will be okay for now, let her eat and do whatever she wants and to just ignore the lump on her side, too old for surgery,
