I've had a fascination with the planet Saturn for as long as I can remember. Both waking and in my dreams, I've imagined how frightful yet breathtaking it would be to get a live, close up look. So now I've gone and written some semblance of a poem about it, and in doing so, have secured my nerd status for all time...
***********************************************************
If I could choose to rise anywhere I like
I'd awaken on a moon of Saturn
Given one day in an extraordinary place
Set me under that transcendent halo
More frightening or beautiful I could not say
Though I think I would fear to stand
Till I'd gazed for hours unblinking
Along creation's multi-ringed crown
Only a part of me could ever return
Though I'd seem to be home again
