Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

Once Around the Moon

The astral plane is leaving soon.
Once around the planet moon.
To capture hearts imagination.
A galaxonic fascination.

A feeling that seems alien.
Like ivory to Pygmalion.
With hopes hung up, upon a star.
You almost forget just where you are.

Atmospheric pressure fun.
Like being shot with a stun gun.
You'd think the end was soon to come.
But then you realize you're just numb.

Reentry can turn lives around.
When lovers find a common ground.
And hope begins to play a tune.
Of a trip once around the moon.

For Shadow Hamilton's Spaceship contest
