APOLLO 11 BRIGHTENS OUR FUTURE Beyond the twinkling stars, so still - the dark. We strive for greater things - the Moon and Mars. And Venus we do praise her beauty mark. Our Milky Way - homogenized gold stars. Forgotten Pluto, runt, invisible. And mando Jupiter, so powerful. Each planet thrives alone, divisible. Our great universe quite so beautiful. Astronaut stands heroic with flag plant. We stare up at the shining white rapt moon. We dream to see a microscopic ant or life-size man, on the right side of June. The mysterious sky lights up each face. The night unveils our future life in space. 9th Place 5/9/2017 Sonnet Form Shadow Hamilton's Night Sky Sonnets contest

I love your entry Kim. Especially your ending in how our future life will be in space. Technology is moving at such a fast pace that our children could be living on another planet. Wonderful! 7 ; )

Wonderfully written Kim. I remember sitting in front of the television when we landed on the moon. I wonder if I will get to se us set foot on Mars.
