POETRY HERALDS DYNAMICS TO SPACE

‘OH POETIC force, show us, tell us take us to heights unknown,
And leave no stone unturned' ‘ QUOTE BY POET

This April month with destination moon or bust, is celestial,
Four Moon bound people took off in a rocket, 
Planet Earth wishing them a successful,
Exciting space trip, praying no harm touch them, 
Only poetic love should prevail,
And courage and hope with poetic ink be injected
Into this space mission , every poet’s talent thus affected, 
History in the making, 
Poets creating poems that bring together
Words and words become breathtaking thoughts,
That bring about poetic rhymes 
Bless and hold their tether hard and fast,  
throughout eternal and turbulent times,
Something different happened 
This afternoon, rather strange
For I saw no bird, yet A dove’s feather dropped
And then floated out of range,
Was it showing us that eternity is space,
Could it become a global race 
To make Moon or Mars,
Habitable, among the stars.
Greed has moved into space,
Wanting to change its face,
But poetry will always be on greed’s tail,
With every mouth watering detail.
Our four brave astronauts 
Got back this early morn,  with a big splash,
And unbeknown to them surely, a reporters flash!

Greetings, my dear friend. In a way that is truly one of a kind, this poem combines the force of poetry with the theme of planetary exploration, giving it a genuinely innovative and positive tone. The way that it honors the mission that the astronauts took while simultaneously implying that art and "emotional love" are equally as vital as science and ambition is something that I especially appreciate.

O how space flight can take or imagination higher, but o how poetry grounds us. I also want to thank you for sharing your writing background on a comment about one of my works. May we keep inspiring each other.

Well, there can always be either or good or bad coming from our exploits in space. Only future generations will know what the true outcome/s will be. I know those at the top of human's pyramid know why they are doing these trips and what they expect to be the final outcome whether what happens turns out to be what they had planned. I personally don't really support the space exploration, but my vote is only one. Sara K

Space travel is risky. I remember long ago a shuttle exploded with several people on board. One was a woman, I think. Great poem though.

Hello my friend.. This poem has an imaginative and hopeful tone, blending space exploration with the power of poetry in a really unique way. I like how it celebrates the astronauts’ journey while also suggesting that creativity and “poetic love” are just as important as science and ambition. The imagery of the dove’s feather adds a quiet, reflective moment that contrasts nicely with the excitement of the mission. So great to read you my friend..

Explorations into space have been taking place from time to time. However it is a hazardous mission involving high risk. So when astronauts reach back safe after a perilous space trip is an occasion for great rejoicing. Beautifully written dear Jenny.
