Notes About The Poem

For the Skating Upon Saturns Rings Poetry Contest, 
Sponsored by Sara Jama

 

Cool Thrills Out There

Skating upon Saturn's rings, on the outskirts of gold, executing my double axel, in the brisk, season of cold. The sole sound is of ice skates, spraying bits behind; In rich, purple dusk, of the chaotic universe entwined. A wide-eyed dreamer, in the red heartbeat of fantasy, does slow twirls and excited spins, jumping uncannily! Skating on concentric rings-the adventure of her life, Stars shining all together, a hundred moons in the sky.

Wonderful write though of course one must suspend truth. No one can come to Saturn and live. Still great imagery.
