What is… the sun? poem

What is… the sun?

The sun is an orange dinghy 

          sailing across a calm sea.

It is a gold coin

    dropped down a drain in heaven.

It is a gold coin

    dropped down a drain in heaven.

It is a yellow beach ball

   kicked high into the yellow sky.

It is a red thumb print

   on a sheet of pale blue paper.

It is a gold top from a milk bottle

    floating on a puddle.
