“the sun sits pretty

Red sun sits low.
Pretty soon it will sink
beyond horizon of ocean.


Sun is sitting pretty, 
shining from her throne,
wielding power to turn
the earth into gold.


pretty little girl
dances and draws pictures
beams a ray of sunshine


            There once was a man who proclaimed
         he could bring forth the sun, he explained.
                 Recited a chant,
            sounding more like a rant.
      Sun ducked behind storm clouds of rain.

I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
