The sun, she rises -- Pinholed in cellophane clouds, Counting down the days

The sun is a masculine entity. The moon feminine.
Ruby's masculine. Emeralds feminine. To call the sun a she is practically counter effective. Like calling your mother 'dad' after shaving off her pubic hair and gluing it to her face.

Me, and every advanced culture that's ever existed on this planet for the last 20,000 years. Even the Amazon's viewed the sun as a masculine star, and they were as dikey and stupid as it gets, but then I read this. I never knew Ra was short for Ramona. Now I do. Next you're going to tell me that Jesus was a female alien impersonating the son of god right? Please don't abuse the son because you have know understanding or control over the men in your life. It shows a closemindedness that you were really going after when you wrote this. I would believe that God was a woman before the sun, and that says a lot. In your gut, so do you, and 99.9% of the planet for 99.9% of our current history, oral and written.

What I did isn't closeminded at all; there's nothing to close my mind off to. Just because a substantial amount of people associate the sun with all things masculine doesn't mean everyone has to abide by it as if it were an unspoken rule, something I see happening a lot on Poem Ranker. Heaven forbid I call the sun by 'she', something that doesn't have sex organs to identify it as neither male nor female in the first place. I don't think anyone is looking to mimic and copycat anything in their haiku; I certainly am not. If haiku, all of poetry and the rest of the world was static and stagnant, nothing would ever evolve and grow. What kind of a world would that be to live in?

I don't get the title.
