POEM STARTER
Submitted by SmileyGuitar
Write a poem that starts in a cheerful, bright mood, but then reveals underlying anger or bitterness.
You’re The Sun
You’re the sun, and I’m the stars
You shine radiant against my dim lights
You are the center, and I am afar
Your heat pushes away the harsh dark
You’re one of me, yet better, more bright
You’re the sun, and I’m the stars
Come too close to you, and I would char
But you could never reach me, nary will you try
You are the center, and I am afar
I look on at your beauty, your charm
And I wonder if I should hover or hide
You’re the sun, and I’m the stars
I stay up all night dreaming to shine as far
And so I twinkle and gleam with might
Yet, still, you are the center, and I am afar
I will never have as important a part
As you and your obnoxious stream of light
You’re the sun, and I’m the stars
You are the center, and I am afar
