Twisted Logic

To all my friends that drive me nuts...smile

 

Twisted Logic

 

The other day

I saw the sun,

in its immaculate beauty,

perched in the sky,

so far away. 

 

I smiled as it

appeared to arch

across the heavens

as it greatness

tired my eyes…

fading off to sleep.

 

The next day

the same picture,

beauty and warmth

as it sailed across the sky

and once again,

faded off to sleep.

 

 This time when I awoke,

the sun was gone,

and I grew cold,

wondering where

that masterpiece disappeared.

My yellow ball of fire

was replaced with a smaller,

white ball of light

and a bunch of tiny

holes in the blackness.

 

I asked a friend

sitting alongside of me

what happen to the great ball of fire, and he said.

“It is night now; the sun doesn’t come out at night.”

I just laughed and responded. 

“Sure, you think I was born yesterday.”

 

The friend just looked at me,

with a silly grin

but I brushed it off

because I knew the true secrets

about the sun. 

 

I just couldn’t understand

why someone would

go through all that trouble

to wallpaper the sky

Interesting piece...in the end verses I could picture the whole thing. Well done!

Nice writing and concept. I used to think someone ate the moon (ya know, cheese) whenever it was waning. I enjoyed the imagery in this piece. It seems rather innocent...

Hahaha!! what a treasure this is and what an imagination you have.

I feel like I fell down the rabbit hole when I read this good poem
