Meteor Poems

Space Rock

The meteor was coming near
But little Robbie had no fear
His parents knew earth was DOA
But he tried to argue, to save the day.

He said, “Dear Space Rock, don’t I have rights
My life and liberty are in your sights
I like puppies and cats, and elephants too
You’re coming for me, but what did I do?”

Robbie’s Dad said

An Autobiography

I am a lone tree,
An ancient sentinel rooted deep
Whispering songs of the past on the breeze.
I am a stick of dynamite, a fuse burning low
An explosion of feelings, just waiting to blow.
I am a bearer of bad news,
Hive mind of demons.
Thought they would fade in the rearview, the demons 
But they still cling to me,

Meteor Shower

I still remember the first night we hung out,
It was only the last time there was a full moon.
We talked and talk as the minutes turned to hours,
I gave you my effort, my lore and we worked through the clamors.
The sky glistened, a silver lining gleam.
We talked outside your pickup and for once I finally

The Meteor is on its Way

   O, how will we ever cope
     The dreaded meteor is on its way
   The weather mavens say ‘No hope’
     that those dinosaurs will live another day

   What will we tiny little mammals do
     without our super-sized

Project Eden

The crescent moons of the auburn sky
The acid rain clouds dance, purple, by

The air it stings as I respirate
A strange howling noise as the storms berate

This tempestuous land, a million clicks from home
My genes robust; Seventh Generation Clone

As I stand here longing for the ship's repair
To accelerate, under robot's care

For the time is short as

Meteor Shower

Your stars are falling gracefully,
but mine are crashing.
Your resentment is painfully justified.
But my love is too.

thoughts swarm the universe
the world I created in my own head
where you read me your verse 
and I add another 

a world where I don’t have to wait 
for your stars to follow mine
Or some sort of fairytale fate 
because

Meteor Shower

The meteors crashed tonight
but they didn't catch my wish
cause I'm still crying in my room
praying somehow i get to you.
Just let me dream of you again.
Bless my eyes with the scenery of you smiling;
oh its the never-ending pain.
How your eyes turn to crescents 
and glisten so bright;
the melodious sound of your laugh,
Is all I'm missing

Meteor Writing

Talk to me in Moon language, roar! 
Control everything around you,
possess too much fire to ignore;

Burst into a cascade of color 
with that southern drawl of voodoo;
Talk to me in Moon language, roar! 

Filled with such explosive fervor!
Emotions pure and electric blue
possess too much fire to ignore;

Crossing gentile with cosmic candor 
spill your unrefined point

The Meteor Shower

We seldom see a meteor shower
It must be the right time
The right place,the right people
And a delightful encounter
To make our wishes
If sometimes all of a sudden a meteor falls
It may symbolize the death of a sparkling star 
From the outer space
We mourn for the loss
We also mourn for the death of 
Truth and freedom in

Meteor

When you fell to earth
did you bring death or life?
Were we first base or a rock too large to miss?

Dead planets are everywhere.
Fire and ice spin around
a deadly vortex
with nothing mild enough
to be just enough.

Did a dragons eye capture creation
a vision seen at its destruction?
If you killed the lumbering reptilians
who brought them forth?
Was it the

I Am a Happy Meteor

I am a happy meteor falling heavily in space.
That is my cousin meteorite Charlene, we are in a race.
I hope to fully destroy the planet when I land hard.
It will probably be one of those planets where people are lard.
I am going to hit them recklessly and eliminate them.
Unless I burn up in the atmosphere

What a Death

sound does not travel in a vacuum,
that's why i woke up normally.
I took my pill for hypertension
and I boiled the coffee 
that I spilled on the apartment balcony:
some meteor cut off a third of the moon!
what a morning sky!
what colors!
the spectacle of hallucinated people
running terrified down the street
everyone clinging to their cell phones
ridiculously looking for
