His minions swirled
Around the castle, dark
Blackened shingles
Stand cold and stark
Still, this prince
Will leave his mark
On the one so unsuspecting

In a dream, she sails
To faraway places
Hoping, at last
To find out what space is
A bag fully packed
She reaches for the sky
Balloons, shaped like planets
Will help her to fly
A billion stars fill the night
Oh! How they shine!
A little girl and her dreams
How I wish they were mine…

Written as a Cinquain, my synonyms are Desolate and Expanse.
Defiled
This vast expanse
So desolate, barren
Lays in waste, Mother Earth cries

Colors flashed, hypnotic lights
A billions stars, took off, in flight
Waves of white, across the pitch
Soon, to find their perfect niche
A place among the darkened sky
Between, as satellites floated by
A galaxy, new, is now bestowed
Tis what happens…
…when the moon explodes

Space, the lines on the paper
These are the scribbles of the Night Owl Poet
Her never-ending mission
To explore strange new words
To seek out new verse
And new split-infinitives
To boldly go where no poet has gone before
(Cue bizarre sounding music)
I fly through words, origins unknown
As I wander around my place
I’ve tried to use them all, you see
But they clutter up my space
Tossing papers, crumpled wads
Leaving poems, quite unfinished
I’d rather watch the stars go by
As my thoughts have now diminished
I need to leave this planet, Earth
Find a home, where I can survive
Then I can write, about the night
I landed, on Ceti Alpha Five!
April Writing Prompt: This…is Ceti Alpha Five – Day 22/30
