Wish Poem, by Megharoopan, at My poetic side

I saw the Sun

and wished to be one.

Never knew the science

never cared, all I wanted -

To be the Sun.

I didn't seek advice

I didn't even bother to learn.

They say, you could be anything

What else to wish for.

One morning I began

to climb; everyone

saw me crawling.

But I was climbing.

I saw a tiny bird

soaring up high,

Then a hawk - followed

by a plane then a rocket.

I set out to find

a rocket; there was none

I could afford.

So I began to climb

People walk past me.

Here the poem mixes the literal with the metaphoric creating a great juxtaposition leading the mind to linger and reflect. Well done
