FOUND POETRY PROMPT: SCIENCE POETRY AND THE EXOPLANET’S TRUE COLOR

Doppelganger, 63 light years away
Reminiscent of Earth, deep
Cobalt blue

Giant gaseous planet, one side dark and
Interesting, one side always
Illuminated

By its star – 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit
Howling 4,500 mile per hour
Winds, nonstop

Tiny silicate particles get blown sideways, what
Sort of umbrella do you need for
Raining glass?
