Space Bound: A Reverse Cinquain

Written for Living Poetry. Bartholomew asks us
to write a rocket poem inspired by this image:

ignite
white smoke billows
leaving the earth behind
climbing toward the stars above
soaring
space bound
breaking the chains of gravity
seeking a brand new world
in silver flame
starward
