Amongst Brightest Stars

Another school day, found in learning’s shrine

Thoughts seeking adventure’s breath of escape

Youth deserves to fill tomorrow’s headlines

Endless visions gathered, flight plan takes shape

 

Looking up into heavens’ blackened sky

Seeking to travel amongst brightest stars

Dreaming of final frontier, flying high

Searching incessant mysteries afar

 

Piloting starship of latest design

Fascinating discoveries in view

Transforming as universe redefines

Unlocking galaxy’s intimate clues

 

Departing from mankind’s earthly cocoon

Reading Jules Verne’s “From the Earth to the Moon”

This poem has been crafted as a sonnet:  Note the four stanzas filled out  with 14 lines, each line contains a total of 10 syllables, and the consistent rhyming pattern connects every other line in each stanza.  It is doubtful that William Shakespeare ever considered designing a sonnet around this theme.  Renowned French writer Jules Verne published one of literature’s earliest science-fiction novels, From the Earth to the Moon, in 1865.

Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright.  Several of his novels became classics, and two of his finest works are listed in the quotes above.  His writings were highly skilled in their technical aspects, even though his vision was years ahead of his lifetime.
