Heavenly Light

Heavenly Light

** Image ID #1544388 Unavailable **

Oh, sun! Once worshiped as a favored God,
now reviled for your gift of a brown facade.

Your shining brilliance so oft bespeckles
pale arms and noses with dusty freckles.

A star! Yet no verse praises your twinkle.
Chastised, you are cursed for each new wrinkle.

At night when the moon shines bright and hoary,
her pale visage no more than echoed glory.

Your loving embrace of flowers and trees
makes the air that sustains our energies.

Oh, heavenly light; without your warm breath
darkness would triumph leaving only death.

Plasmic simplicity; flaming proton -
Oh how we'll miss you some day when you're gone!


Day 6 entry in "Invalid Item" 

Prompt: Image
Form: Couplet
The couplet is a fun and quick form formed by two-line stanzas. Both lines in the stanza must rhyme, and the lines can be as short or as long as you'd like, but consistency helps. Your poem must include at least 4 stanzas of couplets, but no more than 12. A Heroic Couplet is a couplet written in iambic meter, and it also acceptable for this challenge!

Thank you for taking time to read my words. I would appreciate it if you took a moment and left a comment. Your reaction, impressions, criticisms, - yes, even praise - are all equally welcome.
