A POET IS THE SUN Poem, by JVL NARASIMHA RAO, at My poetic side

The sun sends his gorgeous light

The poet gives us inestimable delight

The sun brightens the world with his glorious rays

And the poet illuminates it with his poetic ways

The sun sometimes hides him self in the cloud

And the poet at gloomy times in the crowd

The eclipse may darken the sun for a while

And the society may subject the poet for a trial

The sun gives us necessary heat

And the poet makes his/her aesthetic feat

The sun is the life giver for the universe

The poet is the truth lover with his/her verse

The poet can view

Where the sun has no clue

I worship the sun god

And adore the poetic lord

Hmm. Thank you very much for this interesting perspective on poets and poetry...I suppose if we take it to heart we will refrain from certain topics/tones in our writing and tend toward other more enlightening ones? Are you being facetious in the final stanza? Or who is the sun god?

Indians worship the Sun as god
