New Eden

This is my latest poem. Last month I challenged a Triond writer calling herself "Momofplenty" to write a poem on "Outer Space". She responded, very well, and provoked me to write something myself. Had to change my proposed title, as I'd used it before. Here it is:

We seek another Mother Earth,

Another Planet Plenty:

A World within a Goldilocks Zone,

Snuggled up

Where everything’s just right.

Out there we gaze,

High in the sky,

Up amongst those swirling nebulae.

See those galaxies twirl,

As gas-clouds spawn new stars.

Supernovae die

To be reborn

As clouds of suns

And Planets.

Countless Billions of Worlds

All waiting

To be explored.
