Snapshot poetry  -  a snapshot of intensity in a slice of time

 

ABORT ABORT but Donaldson was already drifting further and further away from us the thickness of his suit decreasing as his courageous kindness floated on within his demise and all I could do was stare panic stricken through the small window's cruelness as the white speck of my friend became more and more surrounded by the blackness of space far removed from everything that existed and I wondered if Donaldson would explore the universe forever

I've never written science fiction poetry. I have written the occasional sci-fi short story. You seem to do well with it. I could actually feel myself watching Donaldson disappear in the darkness...what a powerful ending. Great job. Have a wonderful evening, Sara

Yes the thought of being so far away from everything that has ever existed inspired this one, thanks for your support Sara
