If I could journey to the stars,
Would I indeed go?
The answer to this question
I may never really know
Because from what I have read
It may be a long flight,
Even If I traveled
At the blinding speed of light.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to speed away,
Out beyond Pluto and the Milky Way?
And further yet
Into regions unknown,
It would be many long years
Before I saw home.
Unfortunately though when I returned
From this excursion faraway,
Everyone I ever knew would be
Very old or passed away.
So perhaps I’d not partake in
This galactic adventure extreme
Opting instead, to remain on Earth
And about such things, just dream.

This was really interesting. It was like actually going into someone's head... like an astronomer or maybe a young kid, looking at the stars one night... I love it... the detail and the questions were moving. Thanks a lot for this entry... Good luck. (I can tell you for certain that I WOULD NOT!)

The poem goes excellently with the picture. Thank you for entering and writing such an excellent poem. I really like your rhymes and the descriptions of space. The naming of Pluto and the Milky Way makes it more realistic and science-fiction fantasy-ish. Well done.

An interesting and enjoyable write...
An interesting and enjoyable write; Gene Roddenberry has nothing over you; nicely done. Perhaps you would like my piece called "Evening Sky", which has a paralleling theme. --Joe

This is a very interesting and thoughtful poem. The rhythm and rhyme were just perfect, although at line 11 you seemed to change which lines you rhymed from the pattern before. Perhaps you could fix that? Aside from this, it's a very excellent poem. Good job and good luck in the contest!
