Apple Sun

 
He glanced fleetingly,
   unintentionally,
 
at the sun, and saw
   an apple, covered by
 
a veil of golden threads
   crossed by yellow rivulets
 
of molten metal
   and surrounded by
 
a white-hot corona
   of fiery rays.
 
But the apple beneath this
   splendor
 
still showed its redish skin
   and a bite in its side,
 
made by crooked teeth,
   and he realized that
 
either he was stark raving, or
   God needed an orthodontist.

  1. Hi Dad sorry for the late response to your poem. I actually have read all the poems on your blog. However I have not responded on your blog in the comment section because it says you need to subscribe to do that.
