Have you seen the stars?
Have you heard they’re all dead
light from forever ago
shining down on our heads?
I’m the smallest being
that ever could be
yet these ancient godheads
gaze down on me.
How far in the future
will our sun’s dead light
shine upon another rock
on an alien night
on another small being
maybe smaller than me
who will hope they’re not alone
in this sparkling black sea?

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
