Wednesday's Verse - Sing a Song of Colony

This week’s verse moves from  a fantasy verse about monsters in a mine to a science fiction verse about future colonists. It is taken from Another 365 Days of Poetry, a collection of mixed-genre poetry released in 2019.

Sing a Song of Colony

Sing a song of sixpence,

sing a song of flying high

sing a song of airfares

of dreams up in the sky.

Sing a song of pennies

of dollars not well spent

sing a song of dreams lost

of hulls swift-breached and rent.

Sing a song of credits

of cash in bits and bytes,

of journeys made at long last

of planetfall in sight.

Sing a song of new homes

of colonies ‘neath stars

people making new lives

who from our Earth have travelled far.
