As I finally stepped out of the spaceship
I saw the most wondrous things
I couldn’t believe my eyes as I gazed
At all the colourful moons
The river made of yarn and flowing like hair
The sky was covered in stars
The hills were made of colourful cotton candy
I breathed it all in and couldn’t resist
Exploring the lands that lay in front of me
And just as I reached up to grab a shiny purple apple
That gleamed as though it was glazed
Everything began to fade and
I could hear the traffic outside my bedroom once more
I look around in confusion
And saw the half eaten plate of brownies on my bed
The ones my mum had hidden in the refrigerator
What the hell was in them?
About A Trip To Outer Space:
This poem was inspired by Kevin’s No Theme Thursday prompt for the week. He has so many great images as always this week and this one in particular really grabbed my attention. You can check out all his prompts for the week here.
Have you ever eaten some brownies that were so good you took the greatest trip of your life? Perhaps a cookie or two? Oh yeah, me neither. I don’t know what you’re accusing me of but that’s definitely not what inspired this poem as soon as I saw the image…
Let me know in the comments below what you thought of “A Trip To Outer Space” and when was the last time you had a fun trip. Or simply stop by and say hi!
I recently published my first book and would be honoured if you took a minute to check it out here.
