'Too hot' said the little girl,

'Too cold' she said, then: :'Just right!'

But the cosmic bear had other plans

I’m intrigued by this cosmic bear 🐻 I love the thought of it roving the universe eating little girls🖤

Why seek other worlds?

Time to fix this blue planet

Climate change is real

You offered turquoise.

Blue-green possibilities.

Was it all just gas?

Out of millions

We hope to have struck gold

But alas: no dice

Life would be cooked alive

On a more serious note - given the number of galaxies and stars in the universe it seems statistically likely a planet compatible with life as we know it exists.

Nice haiku! I love the phrase ‘no dice’🖤

I definitely agree with you! There must be something out there!

At least it offers a possible alternative setting to science fiction writers so they won't always be writing about Mars or Venus. They were both thought to be habitable at one time as well, but, in fact, Venus, at least, is not.

Remote, quiet neighbourhood

Live among the stars

Our blue marble is getting brown.

Look around, ‘scope space views

Less appealing. Nor a drop to drink.

It could've been home,

If it sustained life, but now,

It's just a big rock... 😎
