I Will Build

My rocket will be built with a supersonic thrust Large and comfy rooms Soft and fluffy pillows on the couch and bed For my Prissy tail and Ashley to recline apon It will be like a tortise shell, my home I will take on my back Exploring another world, void of life Zero gravity to rest the arthritic joints, weightlessness Safety features have to be installed at every stage to protect My family along the journey For the build a spaceship contest-I am too chicken to leave the Earth in real life!

All the best in the contest, though I wish you would not want to leave me to look for other critters less handsome. Thanks for your encouragement, enlightenment and love. Your friendship will always be special to me. Merry Christmas

Wonderful imagination. I feel that imagination is the first step of invention. May be someone make a spaceship like that.. Thanks a lot for your comments. All my poems are conceived & written by me only. In translating them from Hindi to English I sometimes rewrite or add in order to make my English poems more lucid. Mainly I have written them in English only. My writing power is the gift of my father who wrote many dramas, stories & poetry both in Hindi and English.Best wishes Love Ravindra
