» The Universe and other poems

These ten poems will tell you a lot about the universe you live in. From the twinkling stars to the changing face of the moon, and how an astronaut feels as the sonic boom cracks, and he speeds into space.

These poems describe our solar system. Brainstorm other words and phrases to describe our universe. Use words that will help create pictures in the reader's head. Now write a poem about space using the words. You could use a poem from the book as a model.
