Poem Title:
Poem
It was time to visit the stars To embrace them with my senses Though the price was astronomic I saved up for the expenses Most think stars are unreachable Due to the heat that they emit But perhaps they’re very cautious Just like a candle barely lit To my delight way out in space I manned microphones to listen And those astral bodies obliged With unheard of stellar hissin’ Yet as I approached a star’s sphere After flying the cosmic trades The brightness was so intense, that I had to double up my shades And I can describe what I saw: Just imagine a sunrise view As seen, not through a broad window But rather in the room with you So no doubt that shine would lead one To coming to the conclusion That stars are inhospitable But my suit was safe for fusion I attempted smelling their scent But was honestly not impressed As the smell was like burnt popcorn Which is an odor I detest I couldn’t say that star was burnt For that flawed logic is misplaced Yet that stench made me hesitate To give a roasted star a taste Sure it twinkles in the dark sky Like a sugary cosmic treat But just like mentioning candy It would probably wreck my teeth Lastly, touching a star is like A swimming pool in the hot sun With those spots of warmer water Times a million degrees, plus one Visiting the cosmos was worth Having stars arouse my senses Yet it isn’t for everyone And comes with some consequences But don’t you take my word for it When you are traveling in space Since stars are an acquired love To be approached at your own pace
