A Space Odyssey Comments

An asteroid came whizzing towards us. I closed my eyes in dreadful shock, Fearing a terrible head on collision. Thank God! It deviated from our track! ........touching expression, marcy of God is great. This poem 'A Space Odyssey' is so movingly and astutely delineated. It is really a brilliant work. Thanks a lot.

Thank God, your mother woke you up....otherwise how would it be if you had developed a mind not to return to earth.. indeed an interesting poem 10++++

A poem of nice and great imaginations......................10

Fantastic Valsa. So well written. Such vivid imagination. Kudos!

Wow Valsa this poem was written with such force and imagination. I may have thought about how life would be on another planet but I have never considered that it could be so wonderful as you have so explicitly expressed it. Your mother quickly brought you back to earth out of your dream world to the real world of books and studying. Welcome back! I had a good laugh and really enjoyed your write. Very imaginative.

Nice poem...Poets have this wonderful ability to escape their ordinary lives through their dreams and fancies...as I did in my poem, The Delhi Metro.

I remember those days (primary school) my mother used to splash water to my face. If I open a school books, it would only last 5 minutes....zzzzzz. :) thanks for sharing this great piece. :)

loved this dreamer's exploration and the funny end.

A cute little nugget of sweet liberation, which is bewitchingly brilliant as long as it lasts. The cathartic odyssey plunging headlong into the realistic climax restores the quotidian ennui of normalcy and ordinariness, underlying subtly how every odyssey has an end and sometimes a rather abrupt one. However that doesn't make the reverie any less fulfilling or relevant and the savour of liberation is not lost. A very good read.

Escapism is its own reward and here it was a creative and inventive imagining. Well done, great ending.

An excellent experience into and with that infinite space! I wonder as to how you could think of a flight of the sort. It is refreshing to note that the rumours of a probable martial life are replaced here by the teeming of an enviable fauna and flora against the backdrop of serenity abundant! I am not afraid Madam Valsa has begun to be on a mission of liberating herself from the mundane affairs of the routine life on the Earth. This poem deserves an emphatic 10

Preparing for the exam is a nice diversion for a space odyssey. Reality is something mind always wants to avoid and travel into space. Beautifully developed in the poem. Thank you.

Out running the speed of sound and light Shot into space with a violent jerk our life in a running road

Wow! ...........Oh, Gosh, imagine! I have myself fallen deep into some planet of ecstasy while eyes and sense traversed over those spellbound description, but believe me, it was hard to believe that it was a day dream! Though you introduced your mom, i felt you were going to raise a reason for her being there in Mars, or a similar planet, where God might have storage for such blessed souls and so on.. my Goodness! I don't know how to conclude, other than, pure wonder! Ecstatic Endeavor.
