Notes About The Poem

sleepy sun

Listen to poem:

what if the sun never rose?

the morn never came
the sun denied to arise
defied its duty
to say good-bye to hiding
veiled below the horizon

an early bird rose
but if the sun never rose
what would such a bird
do to kill time while on pause
in the darkness scorned forlorn

too soon the cock crowed
the birds sang their dawn chorus
sang again again
in vain for the sun slept-in
hung-over in netherworld
