Essence of Major Tom (older people will get the reference) I feel you have captured the image and emotion as it truly must be with that first step out of the space-capsule and into the void. Well done and worth 100 or five Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! my rate system :~)

Can you hear me, Major Tom?

David Bowie did a song titled "Space Oddity" way back in 1969 which is way I said older people would get the reference, you can probably find it on youtube if you would like to listen to it.

[Stacy Purvis]

I know...I was referencing it...lol. Oh, Bear...

[Bear]

I like Peter Schilling's follow up song titled Major Tom better than David Bowie's

[Stacy Purvis]

Really? I love David Bowie.

[Bear]

I was lucky enough to see Bowie when he first started touring as Ziggy Stardust, I got to see Alas Cooper that same year.

I was at Blue Oyster Cult when they toured with the first laser light show. When they ran the laser over balloons on the ceiling they popped so I told the people I was with not to put their hands up into the light fearing they would get burned. Back in my day concert tickets started at $2.50 and when they got to $12.50 I stopped going. I did go see the Moody Blues when they came out of retirement but my tickets were a gift. OK we need to stop this music is my second biggest interest just after poetry, I have been collecting music for 50 years. Last year I started using mp3jam to download and fill in the blanks in my collection.

Wow, man. You are seriously so lucky.

I grew up in a great time for music lovers and poets as most coffee shops and many restaurants had readings at least once a week.

Direct and honest. Great piece.

[yuhee]

wonderful piece. The image of an astronaut alone in the vast space was really captured. Captivating..

[Suhd]

Terrifying, exciting, sad, picturesque all in one. Loving it.

A long story condensed in 17 syllables. Leaves some room for thoughts of what would he see if the falling comes to an end! Sadly no matter it is a magnificent planet or endless pitfall waiting for him, he's still alone...

Nice use of words. Took reader to space and a free-fall. I liked this poem. Thank you Anastasia for sharing your amazing poetry.

True definition of freedom if you ask me.

So little, but so much said. Goosebumps is all I can say, Great job.

Space oddity and a scifi fantasy going into the great beyond. A beautiful mixture of space and spectacular control and restraint.
