This would make an excellent children's book. I hope you do follow through on it and then let us know. I have nieces and nephews I could read it to.
This would be a great poem to have in your poet and share, especially with children. Good luck in the contest.

My imagination takes me as far as being able to do without air, and the ability to translate me between not only galaxies but across the universe, much faster than the speed of light to see wonders human eyes have never seen, beautifully written, blessings Roy

This would make a good children's book. I can see each line winding through an illustration. I see two people on the on the first page. The second page has your picture. The third page has two hands over a night sky with a full moon. The next page has the milky way galaxy. That is as far as I will go. I tried to picture your book as I thought it would look as I was reading it to my classroom (I used to teach). Find yourself a good illustrator and put it out there! Another idea - have a group of children draw for you and use their illustrations,

    Darn! I was hoping you were the illustrator I needed. Your descriptions are somewhat similar to mine. You sure have me thinking on those children drawing their thoughts. Two of my nieces are teaching grade school and that sure is a great idea you have given me. I've used blueberry illustrations in the past but nothing better than a child's rendition! Thank You so much for your review!

This is a very cute and whimsical poem. Carrying a tone of play, this poem conveys of an exciting trip around the stars through the act of pretend - in which anything possible. How often I've longed to be able to explore the stars and fly free. This poems taps into that and allows to it breathe. Much luck on your children's book and the contest.

A very nicely written poem for developing the imagination of a child. It rhymes well but (perhaps deliberately) has no meter. Well done, and I send you best wishes for the contest.

Suggestions: "Such is the view of Saturn's rings" could perhaps be "Such AS the view of Saturn's rings", and I did wonder if "Oh, My" needs capitals.

I enjoyed this poem. It was a very lighthearted whimsical poem. I did feel the following section started off in the same flow and then ended abruptly. This section is why I gave it four stars.
Gathering dust from the Diamond Star,
In our golden jar,
