Concealed in the Stars

by Elsa Y aged 10

The sun is like a lava lamp peeking through the clouds,
Mercury’s a rocky, boulder moon
Venus is a fireball ready to burn out soon
Our planet is a colourful marble
Mars is an angry red ball
Jupiter is a brown balloon

This planet has rings of brown, grey and beige
Which are brighter than sand
Darker than a flame
Uranus is a cold pearl, hiding from the sun,
Neptune is a blue sea, its waves are blue streaks

If the universe is a black pool,
The stars are silver boats

And if galaxies are fried eggs
Then space is a black frying pan
