Title: Ziggy Stardust's Eight Line Poem
Rating: Gen
Number of Lines: 8
Notes: Inspired by David Bowie's song Eight Line Poem.
Prompt:

where Jupiter’s third moon politely gleams
the nursery walls absorb a low hum
of vents and ducts and pipes and rude machines
all is teal and chrome but those who know him
say Ziggy Stardust has left the Wan Fiends
to dream for his babe an eight line poem
the stars will sing the chorus, the planets, the many verses
the galaxy will serenade while Ziggy’s babe rehearses

What a clever use of the prompt!

Thank you! When you google 'Eight Line Poem' you get a David Bowie song so I decided to go with it. I think (?) it was written for his child about his child's nursery, so I went from that to Ziggy Stardust and my futuristic photo prompt.
