2 Poems : 'The Valiant Sun King' and 'The Sun Peers In A Classroom'

1. The Valiant Sun King

The rolling, golden bowling ball of sun
shatters all the tall skittles of night;
driving blackness back to oblivion
with its amazing blades of blazing light.

Frost and snow know they’ve lost when it appears;
Winter turns to water and runs in fear
and shadows, like cowards, shiver and cower
before its piercing swords of solar power.

Then, out of hiding, come the flowers of spring;
pretty damsels all dressed in silken petals;
each longing for a kiss from their Sun king
who has fought so courageously in battle.

2. The Sun Peers In a Classroom

The Sun peers in a classroom,
shining on rows of scholars.
“Come out”, she says, “From your gloom.
See my blooms of pretty colours”.

“Come out, you bright young girls and boys;
under my cloud chalked blue board skies.
Hear songbirds lecture upon joy
and let your spirits learn to fly”.

“To pass the test of later years,
memorize well these springtime days
and no matter what trials and tears
life hurls at you, you’ll get straight A’s”.
