There exists some literature on power sum polynomials and their connection to Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials (cf., e.g., [1]–[5]). In this note we provide an elementary proof of a simple recursion for power sum polynomials. In the followingN (N0 resp.R) denote the set of all positive integers (non-negative integers resp. real numbers), let k ∈ N, n ∈ N0 and x ∈ R and put Pk(n) := n ∑
