Sun

I love to rise at dawn greeting folk with a warm smile
Though if any clouds are present, I may vanish for a while
Forgive me for playing hide and seek but I like to have some fun
Because when I make an entrance folk say ‘look here comes the sun’
With my golden beams of sunshine I give a dose of vitamin D
Some bask in my rays and burn, I don’t think it’s too healthy!
I blush scarlet every evening turning the sky an orangey red
I’ve warmed the earth for hours, I’m tired its time for bed

David Crandall May 6, 2024 at 9:14 PM Nice poem, Jan, about my favorite fellow, the sun. It reminds me of a song, "The Sun is a Very Magic Fellow" by Donovan.

Duke Beaufort March 27, 2024 at 1:58 PM Jan, very cute. I remember listening to the song when it debuted in 1974 or 1975...I can't remember which. This is very clever and fun to read. Brightens the day! We're really very lucky that all the energy from our start balances and allows us life. It's miraculous. Duke Beaufort April 1, 2024 at 7:25 AM Yes, I always liked it. It has a nice feeling to it! Jan Allison April 1, 2024 at 4:16 AM It's a wonderful song isn't it:-) hugs Jan xx

It's a whimsical portrayal of the sun's daily journey, from rising with a warm smile to blushing scarlet at day's end. Your words evoke a sense of gratitude for its life-giving energy while highlighting the need for balance and caution in its embrace. This is acharming reflection on the sun's role in our lives. - Blessings, Daniel Jan Allison April 1, 2024 at 4:15 AM Your comments shine like the sun and lift my spirits!

Victor Buhagiar March 22, 2024 at 2:28 AM Great personification. In Malta, end of March is sunny but still cold. Wait for July and then many people will have to resort to sunblocks. Jan Allison March 26, 2024 at 2:44 PM I imagine they will need more than sunblock with the soaring summer temperatures - I am not a fan of the heat so would never go abroad in summer:-) hope you are keeping well:-) hugs jan xx
