Sitting on the launch pad sat a beautiful, but impressive rocket <br />As the ignition cord gets plugged into the socket, <br />The excitement is extreme; 5-4-3-2-1-Lift Off! <br />Listen to the engine scream! <br />See the blazing flames and endless smoke roar into the endless sky, <br />The massive bird soars dramatically through the clouds <br />Towards the peaceful heavens above <br />To explore sensational moods from our eyes. <br />Then, all at once, the ejection deployment of the chute “pops” the rocket aloft, <br />Comes floating down gracefully, unlike a rock – what a thrill!<br /><br />william sawyers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rocket-2/
