too much sci-fi, perhaps?
starship
light
years
away
from a past
that was a murky
distant memory was
the dust of stars and
generations have lived
propagated warred killed
loved and died on this ship
carrying rain forests and
oceans and an armour of
air and treasures and
myths and species
hurtling through
its destiny
this ship
we
called
Terra

thanks, Ashok!
this is a stab at "shape poetry". i imagined our earth as a giant spacecraft, so we must really take care of it. :)
shape or (are they also called concrete poems?) are some of my favorites. You did this very well.
i liked this. shape too.
That could be a sail or a space ship. :)
Lynn,
yes, they are also called concrete poems. an interesting form, but quite difficult to write at times. :)
thank you for your comments.
kamana,
thanks for visiting and leaving your comments. :)
Raven,
is it? yes, it does look like a sail from another angle. :D
This is an excellent example of concrete poetry. I want to share it with my students.
