FIVE STARS seems appropriate for a poem with astronomical leanings. bri : )
stanza 2 makes more sense after I finished reading the poem. Nice one, Ruth! : ) I laughed at the last line & THIS ONE: 'took out all the good bits'
Being an Earthling for the last few decades, I think 'we' should capitalize/capitalise 'earth' as 'Earth'. Let's show a little respect for this little planet, after all. ;)
Ok, now I'm reading the LAST STANZA, and it seems I was 'on the right track' with my last comment (about stanza 3) ! !
I think Ruth made up this word: Zoganaughts.............. Are they alien friends of hers from the unknown universe fo Zogan? ? ? bri : )
I'm not sure if this line is grammatically correct, at least not 'around me' in the U.S. : ))) stanza 3: Am I missing something? ? ? : )) Very interesting.
I CAN 'relate' to 'washed up as a God'. I think I was 'washed up' aka '(adjective) Finished; having no future in a particular role' as a ' God' BEFORE I tried being one! ! ! ! : ) bri.
I guess 'jaded' definition 1 or 2. : ) I used to get jaded when I learned to tie my showstrings in 3rd grade. Now I have shoes with 'velcro' straps; they are GREAT! !
'jaded /jā′dĭd/ adjective 1 - Worn out; wearied. 2 - Dulled by surfeit; sated.3 - Cynically or pretentiously callous.' (I added the 1,2, and 3) I'll guess Ruth means # 3. : )
Ruth and READERS, I hope 'jaded' is clear to all. I had NOT heard all of the following definitions! ! (cont.)
I hope the Zogonauts would be able to recycle an old person's daydreams for their inspirational databanks. So it's important to keep our daydreams evergreen, not jaded.
