Lost In SpaceWritten by Blake [SuperLuigi64]

A lone massive pale white dot way up in the sky.I sit outside and stare at you as I get so high.I think of things, I dream of things beyond our atmosphere.But sadly I'm no astronaut so I'm firmly planted here.I think of meteors, I think of galaxies and things we just can't comprehend.And scary things like black holes and exploding stars that could cause this world to end.I glance back at the moon, it looks so beautiful, so romantic and yet so bizarre.Amazing to think that a mere human on planet Earth could really go so far.Questions float up in mind like how far could we go and what resources are to gain?And how long could someone stay up in space without going completely insane?And so I slip back to reality with thoughts still fresh in my head.As I walk back inside the house and pass out stoned upon my bed.

In the poem Lost In Space, there is a person who thinks about the events that goes on outside our home. It explains how humanity is so small, and yet, they travel so far. We learn lots of unimaginable things such as black holes and dark matter. Astronauts either use them to our advantage or furthermore explore into the universe. This poem includes end rhymes in the last words of the verses.

DimensionsWritten by YouCanCallMeLo

Did you hear of thewhirlwind of words

that can wind itself into a spring andcatapult you out of here?

It can take you to tour the galaxy,to stare into the heart of the stars.

I’ll give you a markerso you can create your own constellations.

But don’t let the brilliance of their light,a countless distance away,

distract you from the fact that they are simple masses of energy,

floating somewhere beyond our three dimensions.

I like how the author of Dimensions talks to the readers and grabs their attention. The author lets you create your own imagination of a galaxy. This poem includes imagery and is a free verse type of poem. The imagery combines with the presence of the reader, thus grabbing a stronger attention. There is no rhyming in the poem, therefore it is a free verse.

Science and UniverseWritten by Anne Lise Andresen

Mysteries revealed and mysteries solvedEvents past and present

Biology, archeology, astronomy and physicsA world of discovery

Old or new amazing buildingsSpaceships, first man on the moon

The robots who would take over our jobsNatural disasters such as tornado or flood

Immerse yourself in historyWas, Napoleon Europe's problem childWas, Sankt Nikolaus a historical personCan we make a journey through time

The past meets the future

Anne Lise Andreson combines the past, present, and the inevitable future events into one universe topic. She includes these different types of stuff that corresponds to science or the universe, creating a thoughtful poem. It makes readers think how these things have, will, or affect themselves, planets and the universe. This poem is a blank verse poem because it has no rhymes or close to rhymes anywhere in the verses.

Beyond The SkiesWritten by Grobb Johnson

Looking beyond the skies, see the stars so far away.Shining bright through the night, till one of them brings us day.Rigel, Arcturus, and Sirius too.Which one a red giant? Which one a massive blue?Through the right set of eyes, you can see them up close.Or look to the other moons, the planets,quite gazed upon the most.

The red world, the ring world, the big orange ball.The burning world, the ice world. Can you name them all?Floating in this emptiness, around the sun we race.Floating in this black void, this place we call space.

And beyond our own neighborhood there's more and there's more.Looking above the clouds, to see what's in store.Andromeda, the crab nebula,the famed horse head.So far apart in this universe,almost forever we're spread.

There's pulsars, there's quasars, and neutron stars.Neutrinos, and black holes, and moons covered in scars.Comets and asteroids and big clouds of gas.Some objects that don't seem to move at all,and some unbelievable fast.

Looking beyond the heavens, there's just so many things.From huge supernovae to impossibly small strings.Every where you turn, there's always much more.So much do discover, with an infinity to explore.

But the most amazing thing we know,of to which the universe has given birth.The most overlooked place of all,the planet we call earth.

And because we're down here, and we look up there.Just maybe, there has to be.More life somewhere?

I like this poem because it names tons of different stuff in the universe. It tells about the different types of stars, asteroids, and nebulas. In addition, it indirectly states that we know most about our home planet and we want to know more about other galaxies, in order to figure out if there is a place similar to Earth and humans. This poem includes end rhyme and a rhyme scheme of every other sentence. A rhymes but B does not.

The Stars And GalaxiesWritten by Carolyn W.

It’s good to stretch our mindsand study outer space where trillions of the starsa smallness does erase.

With light-years in the billions we cannot realizethe vastness of our spacethat all around us lies.

All of this vast space,in light-years so we saybelongs to only one—it is God’s domain.

Ruler over space, creator of it too,we can see how vast he isand get another view.

Carolyn W. states that God has created the universe and everything inside of it, while scientists are getting closer to a different conclusion to the born of the universe. I like this poem because it says how we cannot imagine how large space is, only with extremely large galaxies next to galaxies. This poem’s mood is kind of saddening because of the explanation of how “vast” our universe is.

Stars Written by Carolyn W.

The sun is yet a startho we don’t think of it—the center of our solar systemwe see quite a bit.

The stars are balls of gasheld by gravity.They are very hot and brightas we all can see.

They are formed in nebulasof gas and too of dust

found often in the galaxiesfar away from us.

Gravity attractsan even greater mass,where increasing density heats up the inner gas.

At first it is dull redbut later it does shineafter fusion of the gaseshappening over time.

This poem explains how stars are formed and how it changes over time. Gravity pulls it together and keeps it running, slightly changing color from beginning to end. The poem is a blank verse, having no rhymes in the verses.

Whirlpool Galaxy Written by Carolyn W.

The Whirlpool Galaxy is next,unusual to seewith its spiral arms outstretchedvery openly.

It is a spiral galaxylike the Milky Way—15 million light-yearsshining far away.

In the middle of itas a young blue star

glowing very brightlyin the center of the arms.

Another reaches into spaceto a smaller galaxyand both of them do glow,blue stars quite intensely.

I like whirlpool galaxies, because it is colorful and glowing, as stated in the poem. This poem has imagery, making readers imagine how distant, large and glowing the galaxy is. Many stars shine inside of the galaxies, some twinkling and some glowing from a range of red to blue. This poem creates an image of a peaceful galaxy.

Andromeda Galaxy Written by Carolyn W.

Farther on in spaceare many galaxies—one is Andromeda—beautiful to see.

They used to think a cloud of gasfar out into spacebut found that it’s a galaxy and old ideas erased.

It is a spiral galaxyshining in the sky.It’s arms are rather loose,

spinning in the night. 20,000 light-years

across this galaxy.300 billion starsshining oh so brightly.

More than 20 billion sunsis the light it gives,shining oh so brightly in a sky that lives.

Andromeda galaxies are similar to whirlpool galaxies, just with a fancier name to it. Andromeda galaxies also glow and are light years away, having millions of stars and plants contained. This poem includes personification:

It’s arms are rather loose, spinning in the night.

The Universe Written by Carolyn W.

A 100 billion galaxiesmay be in the sky,stretching over space that is very wide.

What once was thought a cloud or starwas found a galaxyand space grew large by leaps and boundswith new astronomy.

We can see the galaxiesstretching into spaceat least 10 billion light-years,so very far away.

All the distant galaxies are moving fast away.The further they are from us,the faster move in space.

The universe expandingand space expanding too.

Will it ever stop?We really have no clue.

Only God does knowthe future of the starsor galaxies or spaceexpanding as they are.

All of space is his domainwhether here on earthwhere he knows our every thoughtor where the stars give birth.

God is vaster than we knewand more powerful toothat we can ever realizeby thought or wandering thru.

But we know God our Fathercan shepherd every oneinto his heaven of happinesswhen our life is done.

This poem also explains how vast our universe is, holding 100 billion galaxies, ruled by God. Only God knowing the future, the end of expanding of the universe, the start of another. This poem has end verse and hyperbole; the author didn’t count 100 billion galaxies, only just a small example compared to the larger scale.

TimelessWritten by StephanieNik

In the midst of all the commotion The details of our lives; our devotionYet still the world turns in one motionBut beyond the chaos Is such a bliss we missBeyond what we seeinto the Galaxy

Truth with no bendingStories without an ending Balance untaintedTime unwasted

A blink of the cosmic eyeAnd what does it see?I'll promise neither you or me. 

With gravity at our feet its destiny we meetGrounded to the earth like we're blind from birthWe were never meant to really seeThe full beauty of the Galaxies

A spectrum of colorsRain a bow of feelingsBlack holes swallowingDark twisted healingsSun's shining moonGuide our night to lightReminding us to fight each fight.

StephanieNik tells us that we are not meant to see the full beauty of the galaxies nor see the bliss in the universe. There are so many different time structures in each sections of the galaxies that they all move in different time, and yet all move at the same time. This poem has end rhyme in the versus and imagery in the stars and galaxy’s light shining throughout the galaxy.

Tranquility and Death

I believe in the abundant stars the black holes in space the extinction of all life on Earth the fatal traveling gamma rays the speed of things passing around usBut the wishing upon the shooting stars I believe in the gray rugged mountains I believe in the luscious green forests I believe in the sky blue lakesAnd I believe in the comfort of others in life.

Happiness?

Just because I am happy don’t think I am contented don’t wonder if I have a great life I still want you to talk to meJust because I am happy it doesn’t mean im not acting it doesn’t mean I want to be here It doesn’t stop me from breaking downJust because I am happy still try to speak to me cant wait for the next dayJust because I am happy – I want to be with you longer.

Blissful Delight

Joy is light blueIt tastes like chipotle

It sounds like laughter in the distance

And smells like a pile of fresh clothesIt looks like little children playing in

the fieldsAnd it makes you feel happy
