When will humanity (poetically) arrive on the planet Mars?

Question: When will humanity (poetically) arrive on the planet Mars!?

The ship to Mars will take off later than anticipated!. The Human species must be patient for at least another month until the planning stage is completed!. My original fears have, however, no basis in fact!.

Anticipating the Voyage: A Kyrielle
by Elaine Polin

Abed I lie awake this night,
Distraught at men who need to fight,
My longing grows to touch the stars,
I fear we never shall reach Mars!.

The night expands, it is so long,
I think of Earth and all that’s wrong,
My planet has grown too bizarre,
I fear we never shall reach Mars!.

The night is fading into day,
My dreams seem silly, far away,
Should I at last all hope discard!?
I fear we never shall reach Mars!.

In anguish I send up a prayer,
Through doubt that ever He was there,
Why would he keep Himself so far!?
I fear we never shall reach Mars!.

The population of Mars has not grown as anticipated, probably due to those fighting 'men' things!. Right now, there's just not enough 'umph,' so I've been outlooking!.!.!.

I have been to 4 or 5 new planets, some of them with civilizations far more advanced than ours!.

I have sent out probes because Yahoo! becomes more ugly and uncomfortable every day!. The Mars forum is still down because I have not had time to fix it!. As soon as Deka 3 arrives at the Pulitzer committee, I will go to work on it, and eventually move their permanently!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Reassurance: A Kyrielle

Cry not, young maiden all forlorn!.
We too can't wait to view that dawn
That time, no doubt, will soon be here
Tho' seeming far, Mars is so near

For so long have we held our breath
As though a practice for our death,
But, have no doubt and never fear
Tho' seeming far, Mars is so near!.

We will not leave the earth too soon
Nor change our schedule to the moon
Be strong, hold back that waiting tear
Tho' seeming far, Mars is so near!.

We will be here when your call comes,
The trumpet's fanfare, beat of drums
Ready to raise a flag and cheer!.
Tho' seeming far, Mars is so near!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I loved it; I felt it -- the longing, the frustration, the fear, the hope; you showed them to me, and they took root in my heart!.

That is the rare gift you have with words -- showing, not telling, so that you reach the soul of the poet's and the understanding of those who are not!.

I am inspired again to write of Mars for you !.!.!.

Fear often turns real!. Then, people turn fear into a positive reality!.!.!.if they're wise!. And they turn curiosity into reality too!. Does fear and curiosity have things in common!? About 50/50 at this point!.

Kyrielle a good one this morning!! We have that planet in sight!.!.!.of course, that planet was always inside of us, as are universes!. Of art!.!.!.for art's sake!. One thing that will never go away!Www@QuestionHome@Com

We will reach mars when we are Truly committed to do so!. We have to go back to the moon first, and we are not committed to that yet!. Having space shuttles orbit the earth doing dumb experiments does not help!. It's time we got committed for a mars mission!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I so look forward to the day we can sit in the communal dome and enjoy the poetry of our peers, to listen, to recite, to teach and to learn!. To create new forms of writing to pass down to future generations!. My heart craves that day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Fear no delay to the God of War,
Like Viking, Phoenix, Mariner 4,
Pathfinders travel will always be,
Destination Tharsis - frozen sea!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A dream is never as it seems
and longing is part of belonging
so dream on through the night
for soon reality will be right
