To Greet the Sun

The sun has gone away
To come another day
The stars come out
To show all about

For in the moon
There is a ‘coon
That wants to
Come out and play

But out to long
There comes a song
That calls the dawn
And ends the night to day

For then the ‘coon
Said “It is to soon,
I want to stay out
And see the day”

“To greet the sun
That would be fun”
Until the day
It blew him away

This is out the randomness of my head. It may not be what your going for on the contest, but this is what came to me.

    Beautiful write. Lots of imagery in this. The ending seemed interesting. Made me think of supernovas. Maybe that's not how you meant it, but that's what came to my mind. Best of luck in the contest.

    I like this poem
    But what's a "'coon"?
    And I think it should be:
    "The sun HAS gone away "
    instead of
    "The sun IS gone away."
