The little rock sits
Before a giant mountain.
Little rock. Big dreams.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. If you want to survive, you better empty your lungs before taking a plunge into the void. Otherwise, the vacuum will rip the air out of your body faster than you can exhale. Space is unforgiving like that.

A CLOSE ENCOUNTER
Stars twinkled brightly in a moonless sky, reflecting in the calm waters of Lake George in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York. It was a warm August night, as we laid back in the boat, marveling at the magnificent Milky Way. Dark skies made the stars more brilliant at this time of year, especially during a new moon, causing wonder and enchantment. We never tired of stargazing while floating on water, a truly immersive experience.

I would not be surprised if this one places! <3
I like the punctuated ending!
Really visual! I would've pictured the image, without the accompanying image. Well done :)
Love the inspiration of this one. Good job!
Outstanding! Great end line
Oh wow, that is cool. I like how the little rock is inspired by something bigger than itself. Thank you for sharing!
I loved your poem's energy, always ascending - the little rock looking up towards the mountain, and the dreams higher than the mountain itself. Beautiful!
I love the contrast of little rock, giant mountain, and the significance of big dreams! Great job with this! :)
Oh! This is a great take on the challenge - on perspective. Nice! :)
I loved this one! The personality of the Little Rock came through in the lines. The photo goes perfectly with the poem, too.
