Crunchy asteroids
Wet sand, cotton stones, masks, corn
Swimming in my bowl...

Your anger 
rains down on me 
like asteroids -
I prepare 
for impact

Asteroids collide
Two planets out of orbit
Like you and me, babe.

A hot opportunity knocks
Buy and sell incoming space rocks
We love asteroids
But are covered by Lloyds
In case our own blocks suffer shocks...

Asteroids, do not scare me
Had a great life, appeared on TV
Banjo in a folk group
In a hillbilly troupe
For brekkie, enjoy weiners and beans...

Moon drops flowing,
Girls hopes flying
Into unknown's.

Let the milk of the Universe bleed
To open mouthed baby stars,
Scarred by the asteroids of human ideals....

The one thing about relationships

With all of their trials and their quips

It's so easily found 

That the more you're around

It's just too hard to keep puckered lips

Alone with telescope
Astronomy's my rock.
Asteroids and planets
Availed on starry nites.
All moonlit sky above
Always awe inspiring.
Am sometimes overcome.

black diamonds are different than white ones
They did not form inside the earth
They arrived here on asteroids

They are from outer space
register ten on the Mohs hardness scale
and deflect negativity from the wearer...

Wide expanse of space,
Galaxies and stars,
Planets and their moons,
Darkness lit by suns,
Asteroids burning out;
 
Solar systems;
Halley’s Comet
Interstellar,
And galactic;

Outer space,
Dark matter,
Universe;

Center,
Of it…

Us....

The stars in the sky
Flicker as if dancing among the asteroids.
The sun boils in the sky
As if burning like an internal passion.
The comets scream across the galaxy
As if breathing lifeless air.
And the Earth levitates 
As if living without a care....

Clear star filled night sky
Take my worries, let them fly
Up to your space, your blackness, your twinkling lights
Burn them up in your suns
Smash them up with your comets and asteroids
Let them drift so far away form me that I can never find them again...

Hand me down the strength
to whisper and wail like the gods of lore
to tinkle and trample their ears
ride on asteroids,
hands up in the air,
hats catching wind,
and we lose them.
Dig them spurs in deep, gal;
this ride don't stop till Future-time
hath come....

Blue marble in space

     On your vagabond journey

          Through the galaxy

              Plying your eternal bourne

                   Please avoid those asteroids

Sleep is as far as Neptune.
Rings of deception.
Some planets move slowly.
When the lights are off…
It feels like space is too close.
Asteroids and comets.
A whooshing sound.
I close everything.
Outer space gets shoved in my closet.
Stars under the bed.
Shush, everyone.
It’s 5:00 am.
And the universe is comfortable again....

Astronomy guides us
  Above the earth to see
    All wonders of the sky
      And switch theories to
        Awesome discoveries-
          Also, tracking paths of
            Asteroids heading here!

The pen
not so mighty perhaps
as men choose swords -- 

words not so powerful
enough, as men restrict
their dialogues to: Ready!
Aim! Fire!~ and mourning... 

Global warming...tectonic plates…
asteroids from a-far, hold no candle
to man’s temperament~ when war-fully
lit…

temples and churches they fill

God only in their chanting….

morning fog diffuses light
the sun has lost direction  
and the world is enveloped
in silence

skeletal trees line 
the potholed road
as two scrawny crows
huddle in the bare branches

yesterday's  mass murders,
flooding  across the pond,
asteroids,
sudden solar wind.
magnetic pole reversal,
drowning in our effluence?

sow many ways
4 world to end...

The man in the moon met the children of the sun

The stars grouped together and twinkled as one

The planets applauded as a comet flashed by

An astral reunion that lit up the sky 

A nebula formed with hydrogen gases

Dancing neutrinos entertained the masses

The asteroids clashed when Venus came to call

A black hole appeared and enveloped them all...
