New World

I was traveling outside the realm of my known universe

The stars and the planets passing by as I am hurled through space

This is so exciting and new with an excellent view

And the music is new and excites me so I am not blue

But now I am sad and crying as the music stopped playing

And the stars and the planets are no longer passing by

Now I am wet and hungry

Oh Please mommy Start it up again

Please feed me, dry me and start

My Stars and Planets and music in motion again.

I believe you have hit on something here: simple yet deep and it touches us and makes us think and feel at the same time.

Again thank you Terry for reviewing my work. I had a great deal of fun with this one an it made me laugh as I finished. Thanks again Terry.

Willard, I think the poem is one of my favorites from you. At first I thought we were looking at birth but now I see the baby laying in his a baby bea with the high tech mobile going--, lights, camera action with song and dance of starlight on the ceiling, until it runs down and out of time. Oh my how many times did that scenario happen with four kids, They can watch for hours until they can't. Mine also had an old-fashion busy box at the foot of the bed. My younger daughter would kick in time with the music and add to it. Such lovely memories, you've brought to me today Willard. Your feeding my Momma itch.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I had a flash in the brain of the very first line and started writing. I had no idea where I was going, but as happens in my strange brain follow up thoughts arrived and i grabbed them before they were lost again in my never ending revolving brain filing system. I am so happy I brought you some good thoughts and feelings. That is all you can ask of words and picture; move someone emotionally or at least put a smile on their face. Thank you again for your kind words.

Goodness, I was entranced by the first line!! Beautifully written poem that could be interpreted many ways, but they all have a strong impact. Thank you for sharing :)

Funny you mention the first line. It popped in my head and I added the rest. I had no idea where it was going. Thank you for taking time to read and commenting.
