The Sun Rises--The Moon Sets

The Sun Rises- -The Moon Sets Think of life, the cycle of How radiation can support life, enough heat to Ensure a stable self sustaining system. Something like our RA, peasants producing Under this celestial god. He may be dull at times, but Never far from active. Rising to all inhabitants. Imitated by many, but none can capture Something so surreal. For many hours Everything thrives into productivity only to Soon fade. Telescoping images of you in the night How warm is your glow soft blue white Ever circling the world we call home Master of revolution, elliptical, precise Omnipresent, effervescence Orb of the night, silent in flight Never failing, glowing light Shimmering beauty, through magnified eye Emitting a wondrous, magnificent sight Torched your surface, by meteor showers Shine again tomorrow, I'm forever yours This poem is written in the Acrostic style by father and son.. SUN written by son, MOON written by father 2009...........Jared Pickett and Richard Pickett

Jared, I like the idea that you and your father wrote this together. (I guess I just assumed that you were the son???) Anyway, the father and son idea is great. The blend of your styles was perfect as was the flow of the poem. Very nice. Lovingly, Dane Ann
