Sun Spots
Sun Spots
Dark spots like insecurities.
Everyone has them,
no one likes them.
Why do we hate what’s natural?
If the galaxy has it,
the one you say is so pretty,
why don’t you like yours?
I can watch you all day,
even if I shouldn’t.
But I’m orbiting you anyway.
I know everyone else sees your glow too,
the way you light up a room.
I’m watching anyway, like I’m the only one watching.
I hope you think I am.
I hope you only see my eyes on you.
But I’m so far away.
I orbit you anyway.
Just close enough to watch.
Just far enough to not be noticed.
I’d like to keep watching you, anyway.

The poet's name is Teagan and is a rising senior from Cary, NC. She decided to take the Poetic Light class because of her enjoyment for astrology and astronomy. She has commented that her favorite part was being able to learn more about our galaxy, and even further out into our universe.
The scientific inspiration for my poem is the spots on the sun. These are called sunspots, which are caused by cooler temperature dots on the sun from electromagnetic convection, giving them that much darker color. The areas around these sunspots are very electromagnetic and active, which is why you often find solar flares or coronal loops very close to sunspots. Besides our Sun, other stars have also been recorded to have similar sunspots rather called starspots.
I hope you want to watch the sun closer after viewing my page!
