Sun

This poem is a haiku about the sun.The use of the sun can symbolize something else in one's life that brings them happiness. Enjoy!

sun, you kiss my skin

and on the coldest of days, 

I still feel your warmth

sun, you fight the clouds 

as to restore the lost joy

defeating sadness 

sun, your radiance 

shines well on my bitter heart  

its light strengthens me

This is a beautiful haiku, firstly, well done! Many find the structure inherent of a well-written haiku to be an imposition on the expression of the poem...Clearly this is not the case, as you have illustrated wonderfully. This is a highly relatable poem, touching on the natural yearning for a "light" that cures a "bitter heart", defending joy we allow to become sadness. Yet at the very same time, it can also be very personal to a reader, who might agree with your words literally, (and also delight in sunshine) or take it deeper to ponder their own "sun". Of course more interpretations/observations could be made, but I'm curious what you originally intended for this poem. :-)

Beautifully penned. It's said the cloud cover prevents the sun's rays from lighting our lives and robs us, as well, of the Vitamin D, so necessary for prevention of illness.

I enjoyed your poem. :)
