Anne's Winning Poem - The Black Void

 

Fireballs hurtling through the cloud of stardust

Floating like a shroud;

Silence, sinister; cold, unfeeling,

Objects racing, spinning, reeling.

 

Meteorites of golden red,

Shoot from the furnace straight ahead.

The blazing furnace; only one -

The burning, clutching, writhing sun!

 

On planets dark, so cold and friendless

Stretch icy mists so leering; endless

Lurking monsters fierce; eyes glazed in

Wondering at the blackest maze.

 

Shooting stars so wildly career, breaking

Up the atmosphere.

Luminous clouds of glowing white;

Blacker than black on the blackest night!

 

For so long man has tried in vain

Knowledge of the universe to gain,

But some day, and it will be soon,

Man will build cities on the moon.
