The Black Abyss
Space, the endless black abyss.
A meteor racing past the stars, destination unknown,
the power to shatter a planet with a forceful kiss.
moon’s left fragmented, into space they are thrown.
Pulsars spinning violently, emitting deadly radiation,
clouds of poisonous gases that form a beautiful nebula,
Observable through the International Space Station.
Science is the key; E=MC2 is the formula-
the speed of light, it seems so fast
maybe one day, someday soon we will be able to trek,
amongst the stars in a universe so vast.
With some of the worlds most advanced tech.
How excited I get, knowing we are almost there.
The age of space travel, amidst are we.
For the future is unknown, we must beware-
of the uncertainties that await us in the black sea.

Let me start off by saying I am one of the worst writers of all time, I cannot focus and I have a hard time putting words onto paper. With that being said, I am a "super senior" which means I stayed back my senior year, why? Because I didn't have enough English credits of course! Because I just could not focus, so i wouldn't get anything done and would inevitably fail. Until I decided to use real life events as my muse. Instead of trying to make things up in my head, and trying to find a way to put it onto paper using precise words, imagery, and a whole bunch of other literary devices about something I have never even been through. Anyway, I decided to post some of my work on here, so maybe people can tell me how i did, and perhaps give me feedback. I enjoy constructive criticism, so don't be afraid to tell me what you think. I don't really know what else to put here, besides that i hope you enjoy my poems. Thank you for spending time to read this, and maybe some of my pieces. I hope you all have a superb day! ~~~ Jordan Banks
