As you arrive on the barren icy planet, you can’t help but feel something. Is it rage? Cold? Frustration? Hunger? Gas? Whatever you’re feeling, it’s best to express it through poetry.

• Usually un-rhymed, but can be rhyming
• Focus is on nature and a brief moment in time
• Uses descriptive language to create visual imagery
• Captures a moment and creates thought-provoking insight
