Gary Smith Poet Sonnet

Saturn's Rings

Saturn's rings appeal to me,
I'd give them a try.
Get myself a rocket ship
And hurtle through the sky.

Travelling at the speed of light
It wouldn't take a day,
As I looked in awe at countless stars
That grace the milky way.

When I pass Mars and Jupiter,
It's Saturn straight ahead.
I'll soon be spinning on the rings
If only in my head.

I often dream of a wonderful, galactic destination
I can travel anywhere, using my imagination.
