The sun and the moon beautifully pictured. Now you have to write cinquains about all the other planets!

Both have been made dearer still.... the teeming of words unique in each line has made the Cinquains brilliant. But the twins are diametrically polar and are born to different parents, I assume..

beautiful description with carefully chosen words, minimalist! I have one reservation-if the sun is right overhead, it is likely to be bright white.The citreous or orange color is seen in the evening when the sun is about to set.It has something to do with scattering of light by the atmosphere.

Wonderful word Cinquains on the SUN n Moon! The more I write it seems my response isn't accepted. Hence the curtailment, Valsa!
