Well, here's mine:
The Moon and stars.

( I composed this poem with the given theme and similes)

The night sky looks beautiful like a princess,
The darkness as if a veil on one's face,
The stars are joyful like a playing child,
The clouds like a thief are hard to trace.

The stars sparkle and twinkle like diamonds,
The Moon as if it was a suspended pearl,
The mountain fades into shades of black,
The dawn reappears like the smile of a girl.

- Priyanka. Age:14

I must say that there are good poets here. I just thought of sharing mine. Well, let me know how was it.

Very nice!

Thanks for posting it.

Yes

HEY EVERYONE! WOW ITS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I"VE WROTE HERE! well i've been super busy and haven't had much time for astro. but i'm trying to make time and things are lightening up a bit. Wow, Lots of new people have joined! Welcome to all of you! Aww cute poem by the way!

Yay you came back. You have missed alot! go to the polls and look up the topic hot bodies and you ll see what I mean. I m glad you came back. I thought you would be gone for a long time

Hey since we are on the topic of poems has asnybody heard of this type of poetry called a hy-ku. you write in syllabeles.


the first line there is sev-en
sec-ond theres just five
then theres an-o-ther sev-en


thats how you write a hyku. Its always in 3 lines.

I'll try the huku sometime. For now, here's my second one though it is nothing to do anything with astronomy.
Here it goes:-The Orphan

I stay in a little village,
I have no mother, no father,
Far, far away from the city,
With five sisters and a brother.

I walked hungry and sad,
In the little village street,
I saw a woman who,
Fed her son with beet and sweet.

I earn my livelihood,
Sweeping the countryside,
Took bread home for my sibling
I stayed hungry all night.

I saw my mother, my father,
Among the stars that night,
My hunger died, my sadness gone,
I cherished the moment with delight.

I too wanted to study,
Study all the while,
The thought of books and pens -
Makes me indeed smile.



Thinking of balls and bats,
Playing cricket in the ground
Taking a wicket, scoring a run,
Makes me bounce and turn around.

Now I have realized,
To enjoy the things I get,
Not to dream of those I dont
So that I neednt regret.

Down the memory lane,
I think of my mother tell,
Dont build castles in the air,
For life you cant foretell.

I remember my father say,
Do only right in life,
Use your head, not your heart,
Use a shield, not a knife.

I work hard sincerely,
Valued future as treasure,
A little joy that comes my way,
Gives me immense pleasure.


********************

How's this one? Let me know. I'll post some more later.

Very deep and good use of words.

Very impressive this is a good string to keep alive

Thaks a lot.

This too has nothing to do with astronomy but this poem I composed for on the spot poetry competition in school with the given topic.
Topic: Childhood

Childhood that was for me,
A lovely span of time,
Innocent and so playful,
Singing songs and rhymes.

I never knew whats to rob,
Nor what was theft,
I slowly became aware,
Only when childhood left.

It was in my childhood,
Did I get a base,
My journey from bud to flower,
Started in that vase.

It was in my childhood, in that crystal vase,
That taught me to live in open space.

I love it here...
Only I am not here...
I am only in my mind...

Only in my dreams
can I touch the sand
of this foreign world

Only in my dreams
can I listen
to the sounds
of its oceans

Only in my dreams
can I lay down
upon alien grasses
and gaze up
towards these
foreign heavens

Only in my dreams
can I smell
the wonderful odors
of the foreign air

Only in my dreams
can I touch
the unique blossoms
of foreign flowers

Only in my dreams
can I gaze up
at four crescent moons
and a huge crescent
of a planet above

Only in my dreams
can I be alone
enjoying this world

Only in my dreams
can I be happy
yet filled with
the sadness
of solitude

Where is this place
of such beauty
and peace?

Only in my dreams
Only in my dreams...

better and Better I like that one my friend

Yes. Marsbound youv'e done really well. Keep posting some more if you have some.

Thank you dolly1908 for your kind comments! I will post more poetry as I become inspired to write it. That poem I contributed above I brainstormed here on Astronomy forums yet I was inspired by a dream I had the night before.

Luna By me : She lives on the moon
but no one knows she is there
Her bueaty summoned astronauts
that stepped along her hair
Just a spirit who floats around
never making any sound
She danced upon thy lunar dust
helped apolo 13 find thy thrust
If u meet her let me know
i want see her, see her glow

I made this one up last april,but was to shy to submit it :)

That's an interesting and mysterious poem you have written there galaxia16. I have to say that I like it .

By the way dolly1908, that was a very nice poem you wrote entitled "Childhood." It makes me reflect on my childhood, although it is very recent.

Little water world
why must you
bind me to
your endless shores

There are innumerable
alien shores that
persistently call me
to gracefully tread

Oh Mother Earth
let me touch
those beautiful stars
that shine above

Their old starlight
beckons us all
to welcome mats
at their door

Isn't it time
for us to
crawl into the
endless black void?

Little Water World
It is time
now for me
to leave forever...

Thank you very much for that inspiring comment galaxia16. I appreciate those words deeply.

Sincerely, marsbound2024
