Distance

Glad to see I'm not the only downer here.*

I so love this first line,

"We must sometimes see the world
as the pale blue dot "

Enjoyed, Gary.

I know this need for distance even though I rarely achieve it.

I like this form you've been working with. Good image of isolation. Good poem.

Up up and awaaaaaaaaaay... *

now there's a punch in the ribs of a last line. Mighty stuff

Best author's note ever.

Ain't it the truth. *

I think it's almost stronger without the final couplet. I'm sure I'm in the minority, though. Great lines!*

Indeed. *

Thank you all for your generous responses.
