Our Sun
Pie by RachelEllen at flickr
What if our colossal sun,
which every single thing goes ’round,
all the planets,
all the trees,
all the you’s,
all the me’s,
was nothing
but the glimmer of pie
in some mischievous
fairy’s eye.

How delightful. I love the idea that you and I could possibly be make believe and I love the picture of the pie.
I guess we’d better be thankful that the pie wasn’t to this particular fairy’s liking or all the pie-lanets would be just floundering berries in space!
Clever thought, Liz, & humbling, is it not? I like poems that question-makes us think! Thanks!
Delicious! And perhaps the fairy has e. e. cummings way back in the family tree? I won’t look at the sun quite the same way this afternoon.
Maybe it should be a glimmer of lemon pie…
🙂
I was going to post something clever…but Mary Lee beat me to it! Now, I’m just wanting some yummy pie – blueberry, lemon, whatever.
What a sweet (so to speak) idea. The ending surprised me and made me laugh with delight.
