Bubblous, balloominous,
Incinerous, contuminous,
In many ways voluminous,
the Sun and its X-rays.

Trailing on through shady dawns,
and whispers in reflecting ponds,
the X-ray Sun, the fiery beast,
in wavelengths that we know it least.

Only those with X-ray eyes
can see magnetos atomize,
and this old star that set tonight
returns tomorrow in "normal" light.

There's not much else that I can say,
except it's good we're far away.
But not too far, like out on Mars.
The life zone's narrow 'round these stars.

I may not have X-ray eyes but that can`t stop a fellow from loving a quirky poem.

Thanks for the kind words, or as the Germans say, "donkey shines."

Amaryllis, Boom-boominous wouldn't do since that sort of sound doesn't travel through outer space.
