Dan Cwiak Poet Rhyme

The Final Frontier

S omewhere in the recent past came a show which brought the future,
    T hough it was a show that would use the future to show us the past.
    A nd each week when the new episode was on the tube...
    R ecounting now, I remember how I wished each would last.

    T he writing was some of the best fiction ever put on TV.
    R oddenberry chose a cast that would memorialize his dream.
    E ach week they took us to a time in another place for an hour,
    K irk, Spock, Sulu, Scotty, Bones, Uhura, and Chechov were on the screen.

    Even today I will sometimes "binge" watch those old shows,
    Remembering how they influenced my every look up at a star.
    The show created many more series and a number of movies too...
    It's the one show that in our generation will never have a par.

Daniel Turner August 2, 2016 at 2:58 PM I like the write but unfortunately burned out a long time ago. My dad, however, never missed an episode and always watched the reruns. That is the memory I cherish. Thanks for the memory, Dan. Dan Cwiak August 4, 2016 at 7:01 PM When the rocket engine stops, it's called a "Flame Out"...lol. I can understand the frustration, but am glad I could bring back a memory to cherish. Thanks for the read and comments, Dan.
