Question: Do you like astronomical meditations!?
Supernova
By C!.S!. Scotkin

Here’s a little thought!.
No matter who you were,
no matter where you are,
every bit of you was born
from an exploded star!.

Is it not enough!?
Claim your birthright now
claim your pedigree!.
Shout it to the heavens,
a nova became me!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Aw shucks maam, ain't nobody ever called me a star before!.!.!. Golly! Maam, I had my meditation too:

If I am made of elements that formed within a star
Why is it that I do not like to travel near and far!?
If I exist because a star evolved to C-N-O
How come I'm dumb (that's goin' some), how come I did
not know!?
If I'm the bastard child of deep intrastellar fusion
How come my ma and pa did not tell me of the confusion!?
And if my hydrogen's existed since the ol' Big Bang
How come I ain't passed chemistry and can not get the
hang!.!.!.!?
Maam, I think you blinked and took me for some other guy
I'm from the earth, been so since birth, will be until I die!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nice thought, but I think it's theory, interesting poem!.

I owned a Chevy Nova and the engine blew, I wasn't hurt by it so I guess what you say is possible!.

I learned two things!.!.!. it's no fun to ride in a Nova,
and you don't want to be born in the backseat of one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's interesting!.!.!.a nice reversal at the end, too!. Cosmic, celestial - light for a reader's mind and food for thought due to a vagueness!.!.!.

I like astronomical meditations when you break them down into bite size chunks I can understand!.!.!.!.

Is this the reason I was told that before I was born I was just a twinkle in my Dad's eye!?

A neat little poem - liked it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

But not necessarily the hydrogen!

But I like the French Revolution era politics in the second stanza-- an unexpectedly social juxtaposition!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a really cool idea!. I love your thought-provoking lines:

every bit of you was born
from an exploded star!.

a nova became me!

It's a nice idea to write about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Last night the Science Channel said "we are all born from stardust, or, on the other hand from star debris!." They also said Earth was seeded from Mars! Shiite! You beat me to it!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

as a child, an older sibling told me that i was born of a shooting star!.!.!.thank you for putting that into words!. just wonderful!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

So true, so true!. The first line and the last line work perfectly with each other to complete the circle, a geometrical shape that represents life (that's all I ever got from algebra)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It a nice simple poem, with a good message!. A change from what I write :)

It brought up some nice visuals as well, so good writing
