[Michael Tyldesley]

Silverback

There’s only one sun in the sky:
one star in our solar system.

There’s only one I in foci:
one centre of the circle.

The atoms have their nuclei
containing all our power.

The eagle glides across the sky
in solitary splendour.

The mighty lion isn’t shy,
Kings don’t hide; they roar with pride!

The Himalayas reach up high:
a point beyond the heavens.

Each storm can only have one eye:
the calm before destruction.

There is a truth, a reason why:
our world looks to its leaders,

so this, here verse, can testify:
Great Writers rule their readers!
