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
Gravity
led me to you
all arctic and wolfy
all wild and white
a firecracker alright
You were out of this world
a brilliant light in my life for
fourteen years
Graced
after you died
I learned a meteor
had streaked
that very same sky
the same day
my gift from the heavens
the heavens reclaimed

Narrative
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 said,
Taunting images of the new that passed
are provoking these incredible feelings
to emerge and leave me speechless,
completely baffled.
Now I am outside of the blue Terra,
Moving with great speed but to no aim,
The ship has reached the belt
the asteroids are plenty, enough to alarm me,
So I kept silent, one more minute,
Now I exit the danger and face the miracle,
My heart is filled with confusion,
too many planets, to many choices,
But I know now, It took me just a second
to understand, to grasp the space,
and now I have the answer,
To Mars shall I go, if There I can fall again.

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 grow in the soil
no guarantee the great oceans won't boil
no guarantee we will have air to breathe
no guarantee we will have lives to lead
no guarantee we'll have time to reckon
all may end in interstellar second

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, just like this one
beyond your wildest dreams
In Galaxies both near and far
with molten bubbling streams
There is no end, perpetual life
as fast as one World dies
A dozen more, new glowing Orbs
are seen throughout the skies
I leave again, I might come back
that's if my path is clear
Could be in twenty thousand years
I'll see if you're still here.....

Trumps the meteor
Fragile planet waits in fear

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 far from kelt
And areas inhabited by elk
As well as crops, few of which may have been spelt
Close and beyond where people dwelt
Many toiled and prayed while they knelt
With all the hands I was dealt
Always tried to handle them myself
Because I didn't like to ask for help
From anyone else
Finally saw her, she was wearing felt
And her intentions were heartfelt/ And a traditional dress considered Welsh

Rhyme
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 decide not to stay,
the world will never be the same.
It would turn into a mass of asteroids.
Lifeless,
meaningless,
useless.
You have the core of my Earth,
And without you,
there will be no more foundation for my spirit,
music on my lyrics
and reason for my heartbeat.
So please, Love, do not leave.
But, when my encasement do not satisfy you anymore,
When the Earth is not enough for its core,
Forget my plea.
Leave,
my sunshine,
my soul,
my everything.
I embrace the state of being an asteroid.
As long as I make you happy.

Abecedarian
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 your diamond takes longer, true, I fear."
He rued the remark that saddened his dear.
"Oh, it will be shipped to you by and by.
'Bout ten years", he said, for he could not lie.
"It's a rare red diamond that I did buy,
And lodged in an asteroid in the sky."
"When the rock flies near to our planet's place,
We will send up a rocket to its face,
So we can dig out the gems from its base,
And you will wear a ring from outer space".

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 our sin
Many men turn to beer, whisky or gin
Mothers on knees beseeching the sky
Clutching their children they openly cry
Two days remain to face our worst dreads
And ponder the lack of atomic warheads
Some say a couple of well focused hits
Our nemesis shattered to vaporised bits
One day remains to reflect on humanity
Many enact hedonistic insanity
Others pen memoirs hand written at speed
Futile indulgence for no man to read
And lo is the sky ignited ablaze
Searing the vision of man’s final gaze
Impact tremendous but count not the dead
For it simply flattened my grandfather’s shed

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?
violent end of a
blade run.
My pillow is soaked of
a moonfall. The anguish
of a bodyless grave
was haunting.

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

Limerick
A trifling sum of clamour during the crisis of my faith
Bedazzled by immortelle, or steamed away by Nuevo Fidelidad
Down the muddy river where splinters in the brain
Carry-on my thoughts a hundred leagues away.
Within the walls, among the stars, there’s nothing to afford,
As I retrograde and ossify the obscene habit of self in its stride,
The eternal nothing of me that masticates own pride.
Obstinately, I limit my time, as a proof of destruction, a hard sell,
Giving the emotions a repressive flight over the 90-yards-in-hell.
In the palace of intrigue I’m fixated on the cannon-balls of life
That morph piety and devotion into an undying realm of charm.
Hey stranger! You, in the mirror, where hope transcends itself,
Use the claws of measureless love gripped by the scent of an unlimited desire,
In the deserts among the skeletons who have become the guardians
Of your grief, that encompasses the being itself, every time the mirror is passed by.
I yielded to the cautionary evil by being smithed as a human anvil,
Enduring myself in this scanty world of greedy dwarfs pretending to portray the class.
As docking into own despair, now and henceforth,
The avenged is avenged,
The killed is killed, the loved was loved, the remorse always felt,
Deep, deep in the heart and as far-further than the asteroid belt.
