A Letter To Pluto.

So, happy Monday!

I hope you’re all staying warm and safe out there! It’s a solid sheet of ice outside for me so that’s gonna be fun!

I’m going to try and post a poem at least a few times a week here so people can keep getting a feel for my writing style I guess. Enjoy!

I wrote this one when I found out Pluto got stripped of it’s planetary status.

My dear sweet pluto, you have been shamed. stripped of all your achievements, humiliated amongst your peers. they say, you are too small, inconsequencial and unworthy. the planetary merits you were bestowed, stolen. when i was young, they taught me your name. fed me scriptures of structured words. i learned how, even though you were small, you had an atmosphere all your own. it gave me a vision of unique solidarity. they said you were last in line, the end. but i know, you were merely the final spectacle of a wonderous parade. they frowned upon how brightly you illuminated their telescope lenses. now, all we can do is marval at how even though they tried to erase you away, you never left the skies.
