Micah Freeman Poet Rhyme

The Spaceship

So I’m building a spaceship, 
But where should I start?
When the spaceship I’m building 
Is made out of art

Books for the seats
And paintings for the walls
Cause this type of spaceship 
Goes nowhere at all

I do not want it to
Why should it go?
To travel to space,
Where I do not know?

When in my own room
There’s mystery and tale 
In pages of books 
In pictures on nails 

I will set up two chairs
Connect them by sheets 
Webster can help me
With good wordy seats 

I will need a good staff 
I will need a good crew
To narrate our path
To guide us all through 

Virgil can help 
He’s a good guide
He knows the maps 
Of the spiritual side 

And there’s only one doctor
I could put to good use
The greatest of time 
The old Dr. Seuss 

A friend of Ernest 
Our pilot to be
An old timey sailor
A man from the sea

A hatch I will make
Of a copied Van Gogh
The stars through the door
Oh how they will glow 

Our ship will be waterproof
So that’s no concern 
But in case there’s a problem
I will bring Jules Verne 

A clock I have seen 
That hung in the hall
Created by Dali
Will make up a wall 

I believe that is it
That’s all I will need
I’ve got my good paintings
I’m ready to read

Oh no but wait
I almost forgot
Shakespeare, get in 
We’re about to take off!  

And away we go
On a journey tonight 
To return tomorrow
At mornings light

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 20, 2010 at 12:13 AM I really like this spaceship write a lot! It is very creative and imaginative... An imaginary spaceship. Good job on this! Love to you. Dane Ann

Martin Graham December 29, 2009 at 12:33 PM very cool idea behind this. There's a band (not sure if you are familiar) called Between the Buried and Me and they have a song called "Sun of Nothing" in which the main character of the story builds a spaceship and flies it to the sun to be alone. This reminded me a bit of that. I like that you almost forgot shakespeare haha and then tell him to "get in". As Michael said... witty.
