Best Asteroid Poems

Asteroid


You were out of this world 
named for the Perseids
the meteor 
that exploded in two striking the blue 
between the sun and the moon 
the massive spark an exclamation mark
that punctuated perfectly my
“hey we’re going to see some awesome...”

fireworks tonight and
a week later

From on top of a sharp hill
My feet have molded the dirt,
oh I am wandering still 
How long does it take to fall again?
it's too late this time, I'm afraid,
The ship's already gone,
The fire from the engine is led,
The words for them never can be...

Which way?  You ask, is far from home
when you live among the stars
Which way?  I know, been here before
but last time it was Mars

When I came here  (awhile ago)
the Earth was still asleep
Cooling down, the crust still glowed
mountains with caverns deep

Thousands more,...

Trumps the meteor
Fragile planet waits in fear
One more climate change...

Polar ice caps continue to melt
Below asteroid belts
And above beds of kelp

Materials being smelt
Hyped up and stocked across the shelf

Better focus on your health
As much as, if not more than you do with wealth

Keep swimming, you don't have to be as good as Phelps
Near and...

Never been afraid of the nought,
Until your existence came upon.
Never feared requiems,
Until your breath stirred my life.
Did not mind stoicism,
Until your smile revitalized everything around.

It is like
every light, every meaning,
every sunshine and every wonderful thing
that the Earth has,
are being possessed by you.
Only you.

And if you...

Sixty-five million years B.C.
No human being around to see
Near total extinction: a catastrophe
Heaven knows when the next one will be

Astronomer Bob, didn't expect to see
Speeding on its lethal trajectory 
NASA insist it shall pass safely by
Lowlife reporter exposes that lie

Three days remain to atone for...

Find you
Hold your hands in mine
Look in your eyes
Tell you I love you
That’s what I would do
If Earth was getting slammed by an asteroid tomorrow
Oh my God! What if it turns out to be a near miss?...

Burning rocks had 
a near miss. The 
questions splatter 
the blood-

to inspire and break 
you inside and out. 
Unbecoming, to end the 
relationship. The story?

begins of an introvert. 
The ungreen grass waits 
for your wet toes, 
to breathe again.

The blood-money was 
very high, after the?...

Got abdominal pains, could mean a poop
Take heed or you'll soon be poopin' in your suit
Something to avoid
A gigantic asteroid
Sometimes accompanied by a big log to boot...

All the wealth of all the richest men on earth
Would be totally useless no matter their worth
If a large asteroid hit
It won't mean ****
It's “bye-bye, nice knowing ya” no need for a hearse...

The day the asteroid arrived the dinosaurs were playing,
With toys and bats and balls and things, some dancing jigs and swaying.
Young Betty Brontosaurus was renowned for being dim,
She was running on a treadmill in her Speedos at the gym.
“Oh dear!” she cried. “Look out the...

always the object of analyses
universe is what the universe is
from quarks to atoms, planets to galaxies
plus divers cosmic abnormalities

everything caught up in heavenly flow
of where non-stop change forces it to go
no guarantees a passing asteroid
will not explode our world into the void

no guarantee seeds will...

His heart would flutter, so in love was he.
She was smart, well-read, and a great beauty
So under the moon, on his bended knee, 
He pleaded with her, "Will you marry me?"

The answer, "yes", he was relieved to hear,
Then they both decided the time next year.
"But...
