The Biggest jerk in the Solar System
During yoga lessons, learnt the 'Surya Namaskara' pose
'Surya' as in Sun and 'Namaskara' as in salutation
So I just said hello to the sun?
But the sun did not say anything back!
Well that's rude
Someone tell him that not everything revolves around him!
Oh wait...

Telling On Mars
Mars is showing off, Jupiter complained to Zeus.
Don’t share all your woes, Zeus said into his juice.
Jupiter is making fun of the rest of us, Mars pouted back.
Zeus rolled his eyes and said “make fun of him without tact!
That never works! Whined Mars, who is angry most of the time.
Neptune and Saturn were tired of

A Solar System Watches
I am reading my eyes in a library mirror.
I had perused a yellow book:
‘Astronomy for Dummies'.
There is a question mark behind planet X,
and the sun seems to be returning to cosmic sperm.
Jupiter has shrunk to the size of a copper penny.
Of course it’s hard to judge size in a public library mirror
that needs cleaning.

Saturn
Sun looks smaller from there,
Arid and extremely windy.
Thick atmosphere, floats on water,
Unfathomable in our milky way.
Rings made of chunks of rock and ice,
No true surface, nowhere to stand.

A Solar System Is Watching
I am reading my eyes in a library mirror.
I had perused a yellow book:
‘Astronomy for Dummies.’
It could be an electric reflection of the light
but I think I see a solar system
looking back at me.
I recognize it from a picture in the yellow book.
It’s my own planetary cluster, although, like the book,
It does not rightly belong

Seesaw Into Space: Part 2
Cont'd from Seesaw into Space: Part 1
Round the Sun I catapulted
and away from it I sped.
Then I saw another planet.
Mars! I thought — the one that's red.
Mars was crisscrossed by long channels.
On each pole was a plateau.
And I wondered if some creatures
might have lived here long ago.
After Mars I flew

Seesaw Into Space: Part 1
Have you ever seen a seesaw?
Do you like to ride it high?
Can you bounce and push so quickly
that you almost start to fly?
I would like to tell a story
all about a seesaw race.
'Twas no ordinary seesaw
for it launched me into space…
My friend Jessica decided:
"We are astronauts, you know.
And

Distant View

with a timeless search

given a letter
instead of a name
the ultimate seclusion

A Solar System Is Watching
I study eyes, eye's only mind sees.
Inside those orbs a little
protogenic me crawls away.
The tiny creature is going back to God,
he remains cohesive in a residual way.
A solar system is watching;
its dying sun is a question mark.
Jupiter and Planet X
are returning to cosmic whale sperm.
Earth has got too big;
that old brass and leather engine
that once

My Ride With the Alien
I walked along the street one day to see what I could find,
I looked for something interesting to stimulate my mind.
When suddenly appeared before me right out from the sky,
a funny-looking alien with three arms and one eye.
He said to me "How do you do?" and tried to shake my hand,
I jumped so far into

Venus Just One Planet In the Solar System
Venus is the only planet in the solar system
Which spins in a counter clockwise movement.
For me, her behaviour is clear like a crystal,
Out of all the planets -she is the only woman.

The Wisdom of the Solar System
Blanketed in crimson, Mars glows with fire,
while Venus sparkles with deep medallion-
The twilit moon shining in fierce desire,
each planet aligns into a stallion.
Jupiter is the largest sphered planet,
it acts as a strong mirrored reflection-
Pluto’s surface is rough like harsh granite,
the sun and Neptune make a connection.
Our home galaxy is the Milky Way,
containing

I am looking for myself in the center
of my own solar system
The thoughts just drifts with the wind
The senses are united with the truth
Life forms my heart
Childhood memories in my soul
