Notes About The Poem

10/5/2025 for Image prompt Poetry Contest sponsored by Suzette Richards

Field Report from a Rocky Planet

From a microscopic spaceship,
I observed the following, unnoticed
(see the attached picture):
   - liquid water on the planet's surface;
   - the vaporized form of this compound in the atmosphere,     
      blurring the satellite seen on the upper right.
A female of the dominant species warrants attention.
She carries the reproductive portion common to this world's stationary life forms.
She, a moving organism, possesses similar qualities - 
in their language, "beautiful".
