St. Luke's Poets of the Class of 2027

Half tone yellow

Hi my name is Will and the name of my poem is Sun. I wrote this poem because it reflects not just me but everyone else in the world. Also, the Sun is important for people to survive. For me the Sun just puts me in a great mood.

But Hey!&nbsp; Everybody loves the day.&nbsp; Then rain comes. It's pouring it's pouring but you push anyway. And you certainly don’t give away&nbsp; Sun, You bring out the happiness in us! Love, one of your many of admirers&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sun Dear Sun, You bring out the happiness in us! You lent us energy&nbsp; You grow our crops&nbsp; You let kids play outside&nbsp; You bring out the happiness in us! You battle the moon all day all night,&nbsp; You fight!&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; And when you finally make an agreement for who gets to glow and show.&nbsp; The moon wins you over and she gets the night and you get the day.

When I was writing this poem, it really gave me a different understanding of poetry because in this poem I wasn't describing any of my surroundings. This poem is about my thinking and feeling. And now I know that poetry is not just describing an object but really about feeling and your unique thinking or situation.&nbsp;
