Found my space to roller skate Like I did when I was eight ... Round, round and round the rink Flashing lights of blue and pink High above such trivial things Skating the track of Saturn's rings, Go, go, they can't catch me now Once you learn, you never forget how The music flows from far, far away Down on Earth where records play, The stars, they pulsate to the beat And correspond down to my feet Bubblegum pop and all the feels Purple shoelaces and rubber wheels, Rock my world, let me go back To neon lights and skies of black Feelin' like that long lost kid ... Feelin' things no grownup did ... Right foot, left foot, I got the pattern Skating upon the rings of Saturn.

Very clever poem, Kelly. Seems like you found a way to have fun in deep space, and with all the music and colors; what could be better. I hope you did well in the contest!
