Cosmos Revisited by *marzguy:iconmarzguy:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


I licked the cosmos.

It tasted like minty ice cream.
The stars like sugar sprinkles.
The planets like dirty worms.

The texture was uneven,
Galaxies being what they are,
But most of ‘em were swirly.

A delicious endeavor,
This intergalactic sampling,
But then my tongue hit a dark hole
And my face disappeared.

It’s sitting up there somewhere
Locked within the confines
Of an event horizon.

A surprised look
Frozen for eternity.

Einstein told us to think this way.

Who am I to say no?

What a wonderful read! I think you're right though... planets would taste like dirty worms.

Another pleasant piece from Mr. Pearce, I love it. :) If I take it right, it makes quite a big statement about yourself, does it not?

Your poetry, always making me smile. :D

Haha. Wow. This is funny. I love the black hole eating your face line.

I won't fave it, though. Because it's just not angsty and pretentious enough.

Hehe.

I don't get anything that Einstein said. At the speed of light, matter becomes infinite? What?

Oh, hell. I'll fave it. The wannabe existentialists here can just kiss my ass!

This is what happened the last time I read a book by Arthur C. Clarke.

Great job. Very humorous.

A great compliment....as long as it's not prompted by confusion.

Yeah.

I don't know why I decided to go so terrestrial with that description. I'm glad you think it fits.

Like all writing it probably DOES make a big statement.

But like all writing, the writer is probably the last one to know just what that statement is.

My face is gone and you say that's not angsty and pretentious enough.

What's an artist gotta DO around here to get some respect?
