He always wanted to travel
Lego man living on the shelf
his greatest descent – not a fall from grace
but sent into flight from a feather duster
till one day he flew
onto a book that made his dreams
into reality (of sorts) – as he landed and
walked into a patchwork of stars

Maybe its the colour of the night sky itself
Its only when the sun goes to bed – does it appear
Dozens , no thousands of stars peppering the dark blue
Night after Night, showing planets and constellations
Inky coloured skies, occasionally diffused by sodium lights below
Great gods from Aries to Orion , telling tales in the sky
Heavens Above! It’s a great sight to watch
The constellations moving in the night sky.

Picture created with Colorfy
looking out into the night sky,
it’s difficult to tell what colour outer space is
we paint it black – like a sheet of silk
and those far off dots in the fabric ? far off mystical worlds
we gave them names – and put them in stories
myths and legends, told many moon rises ago
Aries to the Huntsman we follow with pride
through telescopic lenses or newspapers inside
and the robots we send to examine these stars
landing on the moon, and venus and mars
are the UFO pilots playing hide and seek ?
Its a question the scientists ask every week.
this first line is now history..
That is a fact. For until a timelord lands in Salford tomorrow morning and plonks his TARDIS on the front lawn, I will be another day older when the sun rises in the morning.
The planets and moons will still turn around our sun and the flora and fauna that live on the blue earth will still carry on in their various systems of life on this diverse planet.
People will go about their daily lives, and the Wildlife will still live on in the forests and lakes around us.
The tides will go in and out, crabs and other shellfish will pop on the shore to say hello…seagulls woodpigeons and geese will continue their never ending battle with day trippers to grab a fallen piece of a fish and chip supper…whilst cats and dogs look on in envy as they patrol their street in the towns.
And all the time the earth will keep spinning. As the day moves along clouds and skies will shift. There may be rain, there may be sunshine – get them together – you might see a rainbow if you a lucky enough.
Then as the sun changes colour slightly and veers down the horizon – heading for the other half of the world, out pops the moon , the planets and the stars
Living by the busiest road in Europe – I still hear the rumble of wheels on Tarmac, but the night skies offer a newer scene with the characters that live up in the northern sky
On a clear night you can see all the constellations with the naked eye in my hometown. Orion, the plough and all the zodiac animals all pop up to say hello – and whilst i’m watching the stars – someone on the other hemisphere of earth is waking up to a brand new day.
And the earth keeps on turning…

Mr Spike Milligna! Hope you enjoy the read
Heavens Above
In time – the sodium lamps fade,
like a fire out in the reaches of space
up in the night sky.
A central point of fire and ice
waits – as a thousand moons melt down
forming diamonds in the sky
Heavens children are busy –
playing in the midnight air
playing in constellation.
In response to the prompt , Longing for Gravity
Sent out to the red planet mars
Possibly, never to return
A spaceman ponders his future
Could there be a chance of return someday to
Earths blue skies ?
Maybe – but for now, he makes do with talks from A Man on a spaceship
And freeze dried food for breakfast lunch and dinner
Never knowing if he’ll return
Never have I seen something so Blue
Even the clearest sea on earth seems faded
Perhaps the stars collected
To produce this gem of a planet
Under the gaze of the telescope, you’ve
Never seen anything like it – its truly
Exceptional.
Named after the god of the sea, at the
Edge of our solar system
Possibly the bluest planet in space
Taken as the last spot before the dwarf planets
Until you
Navigate beyond the
Envelope of our Solar System’s map
Saturn’s rings are seen turning in space
And its rocks that form them turn with some grace –
To and Fro, the rings go around and around, whilst
Under its rings is a satellite found
Red and yellow clouds pass on by, forming
New rainbows in Saturn’s coloured sky
A tale that first appeared on Allpoetry.com about Space, the Large planet, Jupiter and his “Children”, the moons.
Io and her siblings sail round their dad,
telling of what a time they’ve had.
Each one giving each other a mention
as they try to get their fathers attention.
They whirl around him at a pace
out in the deep dark depths of space
playing with elements and watching them melt
and watching them fly towards the asteroid belt
As Ganymede watches his sister pass,
She playfully throws up clouds of sulphuric gas.
Callisto flies past his fathers red eye,
and sees sister,Europa passing by
She smiles at her dad, to her siblings, Hello!
and then with a quick turn, away she goes
and whilst all the children are having their fun
on the tiny cousin earth, the day has begun
A tale inspired by the rockets and explorers currently exploring the solar system
They say there’s life beyond our star
Up there in the deep night blue
We sent up men to outer space
We searched all the planet’s…there wasn’t a trace
And looking out we all thought why
Those visitors from mars should drop in and say hi
For when we sent robots to visit their place
We searched all their planet’s…there wasn’t a trace
So from hour to day the satellites race
Sending back signals to our little blue place
Hoping they’ll send a message through the sky
In attempt to make friends … And maybe say hi
unstoppable
