In Full Sail
by Linda L. Dowd

I travel the solar system,
Swinging from a comet’s tail,
~Among 9 spinning planets,
With my spirit in full sail.

I’m hot like planet Mercury,
I brim with Venus love.
I’m in tune with the Universe
And all its Light thereof.

It’s to Earth that I return to,
But it’s not where I am from.
I hail from a distant star world,
~Far from your Father Sun.

I swing from crescent moons,
And soar among the stars.
I slide down cosmic moonbeams,
And glow like planet Mars.

I’m big like planet Jupiter,
I wear many a Saturn ring.
I’m erratic like Uranus
As thru' Milky Way I wing.

Neptune bears his trident,
Tiny Pluto’s far from home.
I'm in perpetual motion,
As merrily I roam.

I travel the solar system,
Swinging from a comet’s tail,
~Among 9 spinning planets
With my spirit in full sail.


“We are borne of star dust,
and to the stars we shall one day return.”
~ Linda L. Dowd

Happy Thanksgiving, Bill!

I enjoy writing for children, but I'm pleased that the big children enjoy reading these poems as well!

Oh, Linda Angelo Terrestre, this is totally awesome and you know, don't you, that I am right there besides you. A wondrous journey we are on!

Together we move through space
in deep awe we behold the view
of our Gaia's charming face
as she whispers "I love you"


Thank you for the inspiring journey!

Love and hugs.

Dear Ida ~

I can smell your home-cooking all the way up here north of the 49th! Mmm! Mmmm!

I just had a salad with yoghurt and fresh lime salad dressing! Delicious ~ but it doesn't stick to my ribs. But on the bright side, it doesn't stick on my hips like the big Thanksgiving dinner I enjoyed when had our Thanksgiving several weeks ago! lol Did you make stuffing? Please save me some. ~ Could you email it to me?

Love you, kindred sis!

Love you.

I once took Saturn's rings and made a spiral staircase out of them but swinging from a comet's tail sounds like a blast.

Well done and definitely in full sail.

Mark ~

It appears that you are as creative with your hands as you are with a pen!

Next time a comet swings by, grab onto it's tail! It's a great way to fly! lol

Yeppers! Trying to kill two birds with one stone! ~ Gosh, that's not a very nice saying, is it.

Hopefully my poem has entertainment as well as educational value for children.

I appreciate your thoughtful response!

Thank you!
