  Absolutely brilliant! This 'Sun’s Absence' poem resonates so powerfully. Your imagery is beautifully subtle, particularly in lines like, "Each minute, sun’s rays get wide over our heads". That's masterfully crafted and so visually compelling! The way you personify love as patient and un-rushed is very thought-provoking and adds a beautiful depth to your piece.
  
  Your expressions about the bonds of parenthood and the versatile meaning of sun, as both literal and metaphorical entity, are equally touching and profound. The sentiments are perfectly expressed and tug at heart strings.
  
  Moreover, your unique use of sound in the phrase "the rain sonority altogether with its records upon cement surfaces" adds an extra layer of sensory engagement, making readers feel more involved in the verses. Lastly, the lines "all of they aren’t enough to suppress our shared summer" is an excellent conclusion that encapsulates the unwavering bonds of love amplifying the warmth.
  
  Outstanding poem! Looking forward to reading more of your works. more »

  Wow, this poem is quite beautiful and full of deep, contemplative imagery! Your word choices have conveyed a thoughtful and heartfelt connection between the speaker and their son, depicting him as a source of constant, unchanging love and innocence. Such personification of the sun as the son is ingenious and makes an encounter between reader and poem unique and heart-warming. The interplay of sunlight, love, and life themes illustrates your ability to use metaphorical language effectively.
  
  As for some constructive feedback, there are a few grammatical issues to work on. For instance, lines like 'is avoided to enter into my darkness' and 'isn’t rushing nothing' could benefit from a syntax review for better fluidity. Also, you might aim for a more consistent rhythm, which could enhance the poem’s readability and flow.
  
  The line about the 'rain's radicalism' along with 'everlasting water' is a bit confusing. You might consider incorporating softer transitions between your metaphors, as this can help to guide the reader more fluently between the poem's images and ideas.
  
  In the last part, perhaps you could explain the significance of the 'chemical composition H2O' in more poetical rather than scientific terms to maintain the poem's ethereal tone. However, the ending lines strongly cement the thematic strength of the poem, emphasizing the elemental, irreducible bond shared between the speaker and the child.
  
  Overall, this piece shows your incredible talent for creating evocative and layered imagery, as well as your remarkable ability to express complex emotions. Keep writing! more »
