Our Runaway Cosmos
Dark energy, dark matter
bright stars–just a smatter
Universe expanding
beyond understanding
Other multiverses
dimensions reverses
concepts we once held true
now a new point of view.
Beyond understanding
universe expanding
bright stars– just a smatter
dark energy, dark matter
So little light. So much dark. All sparkles and darkles.

My example
Don’t Mock Any of Those Gods (Form: Rhymethor)
In case my words aren’t clear
there’s repetition here.
There’ve been gods by the bunch
by vision, plan and hunch.
I need no fables wrought
from whole cloth and then taught
to children who believe
most all that they receive.
By vision, plan and hunch
there’ve been gods by the bunch
there’s repetition here
in case my words aren’t clear.
It works. A god’s an extra step. I’ll still be good.
