Tropics Design

Aloha poets,
     Greens and blues of tropics design inspire today's poetry. Enjoy!

Apophis Pop

Fat stack of rules brace for deep impact
Fast track cools in the face of contact
Administration officials don a vest
Government estimates off at best?

They had poker faces in all that blurs
Space keyhole is where return occurs
Nudging asteroids business of survival
Apophis April thirteen's 2029 arrival

Earth safety mode once the dream
Ejecta release spews asteroid stream
Showers capacity in its physics laws
Apophis threatens all beaks and paws

Security through an insurance or bonding?
Management focus group asteroid yawning
Meaningful supervision hopes for its call
Governments prepare to provide for all

Gravity tractor in the future will know
Spaceship ion thrusters for a gravity tow
Firm jawed and principled makes the play
Kinetic impactor pushes it out of the way

Stars much more distant, maybe asteroid 
Apophis "rubble pile" out in the void
Devastating impact or a near miss?
Finesse its orbit for deflection bliss

Conference calls orbit of wonder
Void of the abyss hears no thunder
Officials, experts in no preset agenda?
Earth headed for galactic fender bender

To talk over one another in this instance?
Apophis makes its way in closing distance
500 megatons--ten times our biggest bang
Apophis Pop as the last genre earth sang
