Sun Sonnet There is no bright as brilliant as the sun, the greater guardian of Earth by day. Giant fireball of fury not undone, its mighty heat is felt light years away. For decades they have worshipped the great light in stolen glimpses on the breast of sky. Intensity of brightness beyond sight, the star cannot be viewed with naked eye. Sun radiates with warmth and golden glow to soothe the sullen nature of mankind and stimulates all things to bloom and grow in glories of enrichment from its shine. This ball of gas and fire gives life to Earth for energy, renewal and rebirth. 104 words 140 syllables 609 characters Sunshine sonnet John Hamilton Sponsor

Such an ethereal rhythmic flow to this photonic love tonic poem, Sian. The words dance in the mind ... There is no bright as brilliant as the sun, the greater guardian of Earth by day. Giant fireball of fury not undone, its mighty heat is felt light years away. Beautiful poem w/amazing imagery. Love and joy always.
