Pluto
Hello my Pluto, so distant and small,
Some questioned if you were out there at all, so
Passing by planets of far greater size, I
Journied the distance and crossed the divide, to
See your galactic existence first-hand, and
Judge for myself whether planet or man.
Weaving through mountains, you gave us a tour.
Outer-space questions you let me explore.
Words and our cores seemed exactly the same;
Sparks flew like comets across the terrain, but
Time traveled quickly and to my dismay,
Rocket ships carried me far, far away, and
While I'll interpret all that I've just learned,
Telescopes beckon me since I've returned, for
Puzzles of ideas in letters you send -have
Taken up orbit inside of my head.
I cannot help but look at the stars, and
Wonder if one day I'd leave sunny Mars,
Give up the sunshine for some kooky rock, and
Find a new planet where we could just talk.
Spend all my days near that cold, distant stone-
Circle 'round Pluto and build a new home.
Perfect and possible mission it seems, this
Star-crossed adventure is merely a dream, for
Saturn and I are both newly engaged
In binding pursuits until we meet our age...
So, dearest Pluto, it's farewell my friend. I'm
Star-gazing 'til I can see you again!
