Question:

What can you compare the sun to for a poem?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The sun is a neutral point of comparison in that it can be both positive and negative. If you want a "good" sun, you can compare it to the warmth of a friend's embrance, a stalwart guide, a burst of pure joy from within the depths of your soul...the list goes on. A "bad" sun could be a slavedriver, beating down on us and sapping our spirits dry. Then, there are the neutral metaphors, for instance, a lightbulb,

I guess what I'm saying is that it really depends on what role the sun plays in your poem. Identify that, and then choose among the sun's qualities.
