Every Year

Every year
They silently observe
Tracing stellar movement

Every year
Comet comes close
To some distant planet

Every year
Blazing the sky
Devastated impact

Every year
Life forms fear
Destructible comet

Every year
They move in
Colonizing the aftermath

Every year
The cycle repeats
They are populating

My first free verse poetry and is inspired by this week’s Stellar and Lunar Challenge Roundup #12 (Aug 6) themed impact. I’m still in the mood of sci-fi after reading Ender’s Game

Stellar and Lunar Challenge is hosted by Sarah once a week every Thursday on her blog tuckedintoacorner.
