The Great Attractor

Calls out from constellations

And galaxies flow

This made me picture like a cosmic rave with DJ Great Attractor and an epic light show.

I never write poems

But this image called me out

I weirdly stray too.

Ha! Fair! And a fine entry! We certainly hope to see you again sometime 🖤

The pic honestly has nothing to do with the prompt, but it’s so incredible/creepy I had to use it. 🤷‍♀️

Your destiny is your destination

buck not your fate, play the game

and follow along with the others

Dedicated to my niece Aoife who today won a place in university to study astrophysics - very soon she'll be solving these enigmas for us!

Hey!! Congratulations Aoife! That’s awesome, we definitely need more bright minds working on this wild stuff.

Love the vibe of this poem, like some kind of cosmic-guru traffic director… I wonder if herding galaxies is as hard as herding cats??

A.P. Murphy's avatar

Thanks HG we're all very pleased, some very smart young folk in my family. As for herding galaxies, it's easy once you get the hang, they've just gotta respect your authority. More like sheep than cats except the odd awkward customer...

Ahhh the black galaxy, always causing trouble.

(How is there no black seep emoji??)

Galaxies shifting,

Answering a secret call,

Only they can hear... 😎

Honeygloom's avatar

I love that galaxies in your universe are sentient. It’s a little terrifying and very cool🖤

Chris J. Franklin's avatar

Thanks! There's so much we don't know about what's out there. There could be all sorts of crazy things like this going on. Haha... 😎

I always love an unknown and unknowable force, malevolent only in our limited view. Great job!

Honeygloom's avatar

Ah thanks! Not going to lie doing this research has given me more than a few nightmares.

Models are molded together to form

Movement for astronomical quantum leaps

Timely proposals to be solved

Inside or outside a space unknown.

Honeygloom's avatar

Oh cool! I love the hint of solving these puzzles from space itself 🖤

Richbee's avatar

Sorry. I was not in focus this morning. Good luck solving jigsaw puzzle.

Where the evil aliens live.

Honeygloom's avatar

Makes one wonder why all the evil humans don’t like, find their own planet…. or universe.
