What Color Are the Sun’s Eyes?

What color are the sun’s eyes?
~ anonymous

 

I wrote anonymous because I have no idea if anyone asked that in some poem or short story somewhere.

But the question really came from me.

Fooling around with garden implements, never content with leaving things as they are, I decided to brighten up one of my lawn ornaments with a bit of sparkly silver spray paint and, perhaps, some colorful eyes to reflect the sun.

What color are the sun’s eyes?

So I experimented. 

The radiant golden color of sunshine itself: yellow...

The soft blush of a baby’s breath:  pink

The pure beauty of a summer sky:  blue …

or the fertile fields of Earth’s cover:  green …

Then I tried my last color set of eyes …
and somehow they turned demon-like …

Sooooooo…. I did whatever a normal, shoulda-done-in-the-first-place artist would do …

Leave … the eyes … alone …

  1. This evening our Sun was blushing …

    “Our Blushing Star (an Epigram)”

    When I see an evening sky alight
    I wish upon our blushing Star
    With all my imaginable might
    For peace to be our only Avatar
