GALAXY

Travel in a space ship
off in the galaxy
you'd be surprised
at the things you will see.

A river of stars
thick like milk,
soft air, and clouds,
and a breeze like silk,

Planets of all sizes
far off in outer space
our galaxy is
and incredible place.


    I couldn't think of what to write for today, so I opened the dictionary to a random page.  I closed my eyes and put my finger down on the page.  The word under my finger was galaxy.  So, here is your challenge for today, take any book, open to a random page and put your finger down.  What is the word your finger lands on?  Can you write a poem about that?  You are welcome to share your poem in the comments below, or just share your word.  If you have trouble writing your poem, remember acrostics, haiku and cinquains.
