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

Great verse Nance so visual it captures both the thunderous energy and the quiet awe of space exploration perfectly – and we went with the same track 🚀😃
