Write a Chueh-chu about sunshine.

A Chueh-chu is a Chinese poetic form based on a shortened sonnet. It has 2 stanzas with 4 lines each, with 10 syllables in each line.

Longing

Passionate beam upon my aging skin

Numbered days in this body, yet I grin

Shine upon me, my beautiful spotlight!

The brief moments shared are life’s greatest win

I glow upon that fiery gaze at noon

Night, approaches and I wait for that spin

Do you remember me, beautiful sun?

Hidden away like a forgotten sin
