Universal Wonder

Why is it that the sun,
Though thought to hold pleasure and beauty,
Moves in the path of a frown?

That a smile turned upside down,
Is a frown,
But not thought negative?

Why is it that Science, though admitting of flaws,
Is taken as fact?
When did Universal Wonder leave?

Hey evie

I will have to say in this poem . The first words [ Why is it that the sun,Though thought to hold pleasure and beauty, Moves in the path of a frown?].This took me to new places, this part was outstanding. But then U lost me by making this personal by adding this [Why is it that one plus two is three?And why is it, That you plus me, just won’t be?].I will only say that there is room to expand with this poem Press

Thank you for the comment, I was a bit hesitant when writing it thinking perhaps it should've been worked on as two seperate poems. Do you have any suggestions for the final stanza? Evie
