Trip to Saturn

By Tricia Payless

Part 1   

I look at the ship,

I look at the sky 

I got in and started to fly.

Then we got hit with a rock

We got hit off our corse 

We got loss in the air

We try and try to find the place

We fly and found a plants

 One kid eat it and disappeared 

We left to find Saturn 

We found Saturn and landed

“Welcome to Saturn” someone said

We turn around and see

Part 2

I see this big blue guy

“Hi” this big blue guy said

“Hi what are you” I say

“I’m iron the king of Saturn” Iron said

“A king” I said shocked 

“Yes” he said

He took us to his castle 

He feed us and gave us a room to stay

He was really nice

He made us a ship

And we said goodbye and left.

By Eric Smith

Part 1

Jessie woke up from her sleep. 

She heard a knock on her door. 

She went down stairs and opened the door.

 jimmy:(her manager at nasa) today is your mission to go to the moon. Did you get prepared? 

Jessie: Yes, I am ready. 

“They both leave to go to the rocket launch”. 

Jessie: how long till we get on the rocket jimmy?

Jimmy: Probably right now we got everything ready. 

“They get on the rocket ship” timmy: ready for blast off  

10..9.. 8..7..6. 5..4..3..2..1 BLAST OFF.

                                       Part 2 

                                                      alien point of view. 

The Efil saw a giant cylinder come from the sky landing on its planet. 

I was curious, when it landed I ran up to the cylinder and people came out of it. 

I got scared and ran away Into my nest with my brothers and sisters. 

I think they saw me because they were going toward my nest. 

But then they put a flag right next to my nest. 

It was red and blue with white stars. 

Then they got back on the cylinder and flew away.

 EXTRA    Terry: I will be interviewing a retired astronaut today and see the risks and sacrifices on a space mission. Terry: Let’s start the interview “Jessie walks in” Jessie: i am an astronaut who went on the moon 2 decades ago and retired since then. Terry: Jessie, what do you think was the biggest risk of landing on the moon? Jessie: I think it’s when we almost ran out of oxygen so we had to use the space suits for oxygen. Terry: That sounds scary but did you still land on the moon? Jessie: yes we landed on the moon and we only ran out of oxygen on the way back to earth.

Characters:

Terry: the guy who is interviewing the astronaut

Jessie: the astronaut who got to the moon

John: the camera guy, he doesn’t speak much

Timmy: the guy who jessie talks to alot     

Efil: the alien on the moon  ( spell Efil backwards)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Off in Space

Off in space 

PT1

By John Smite

I see stars, planets, I’m heading to Jupiter.

The gravity and pressure makes me feel stupider.

I’m worried that I won’t make it back.

But all I can do now, is not be scared of what I lack.

My friends, family are waiting for my return.

I’m getting close as I can see Saturn.

I have a long way to go, 6 years.

I’m starting to worry about my peers.

But off I go further and further away from home.

I’m now on Jupiter.

The FiRst mEetIng PT2

A meteor hit our land and we sent a few to go check it out.

We found a pod broken, crashed.

We went to find out what it had stashed.

There was a strange man in a suit.

Unconscious, breathing.

It reached out its dark hands to pick up the man.

Its lage eyes examining him as

It floats across the surface of the gas planet

It stabs him, blood, floats, up.

The Found Planet/The Unknown Human

Part 1

The Found Planet

By McNuggetMidget

I will go to a new place

that I will make my home base

But I have fear in my face

scared of what will happen in this place

If I am here

gone from my home sphere

But how will my family know

if I find my way home

I have to beat this space

so that I can find my way to a new place

I am done having fear

of what will happen here

So I will fly to Jupiter

the feeling still bitter

As I travel I know

that Jupiter will will be as cold as snow

Then I land on the planet that feels so hollow

I can’t help but take a swallow

Now I have made it here

to this place I no longer fear

Part 2

The Unknown Human

We are the aliens of this world

with our fists curled

We protect all of us

by making our enemies fuss

I see something come down from the sky

something that can fly

Then a human steps out

says our scout

We rush to the man

his spaceship is what we will scan

I can see that the man fears me

but I am just a sceple

So I help the man become our friend

and to the other humans, he will have more letters to send

As time passes, another person comes who is our man’s friend

our space feels invaded but there are now more people to tend

Our friend help us learn about humans and their mind

so now the aliens go on a learning grind

The man helps us find rare ores

so I help him find some tasty mushroom spores

The civilizations thrive now

but without the humans we would not know how

As me and the man grow old

we remember that without us this world would become cold

We lay to rest

On this planet of the best

Neptune

By Bigmack123

Neptune

Neptune a far, far, place from Earth

It will only take us 18.3 years

We have only had one problem

Space Captain Jack

As he walks through the ship in the shimmer of night

He moves like a shining light

Fast and swift 

As if he was a cast drifting along water

Like a new home was await

Acting casual the next day 

As if it was the perfect way

As if it wasn’t long 

Captain Jack made it strong

Captain Jack making our training hard

As if he was going to do something after all

Finally we were only one day till we got to Neptune

Captain Jack pulled the oxygen hose

I froze 

This is what he was training us for

I quickly plug it back in

Grab the tool kit

I hoped the part fit

And it did

He told me that we were training

But he was draining my spirit

We finally touched down on Neptune

As I kept my eye on him as he made me frown

And make me drown in sorrow of training with him

Part Two

I saw this spaceship landing on my planet called Neptuaning 

 For humans the planet Neptune

Then I seen this guy walk out in this space suit

Followed by another evil looking guy

I noticed him from somewhere

It was my nightmares about him

I can tell the future when I sleep

Then the other guy saw me and chased after me

Lucky in my dream he was the good guy

So I stopped around the corner 

He caught up to me

He asked what I was 

I responded Fred

I am a fred

He said his name is Jim

He started trusting me more and more

I led him back to my home

I told him my power

I told him that the guy he came with is evil

So he made me sleep and tell the future

The good guy dies

I told him and the we came up with a plan

He went back to the spaceship

He tried not acting suspicious

He did a pretty good job

Once they went inside to eat lunch

I snuck around and looked for a way in

All of a sudden I heard a boom zip

Then I passed out

I woke up in the spaceship

The Jim was being held captive by the bad guy

The bad guy had a sharp blade in his hands

But I can slip out of tight places so I untied the knots

That were holding me down then I seen it 

The bad guy threw the blade at Jim

I jumped without a doubt

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Jim shouted why would you do that

I was hit with the blade

I told him that it was ok and that he 

Should beat the bad guy 

Then I passed out

I woke up in a hospital on the space station

Jim walked up to me and said that he was glad I was okay

Then I realized my prediction was wrong I had changed the future

It was for the best

Jim said that he took the blade

Then forced him out into neptune

He had little food and water

And a spacesuit

Then we took off back to another planet

Never returning to Neptune

Finding a Way Through Space

Finding a Way Through Space

By Ginger

Part 1

Finding a way through space

On my way to Yautja Prime

I travel beyond rocks and stars

Finding a way through space

On my way I see a face

Through the window of my ship

I look at it, it throws a fit

And starts to chase

Finding a way through space

I past other planets

On my to a place far away

To the planet named Yautja Prime

I will arrive soon

I get to Yautja Primei look around to find nothing

But rocks, so i set up camp

For me and my team

We get some rest and tell stories

PART 2, the Predators(from Predator)

What are these creatures

That invaded are home

When, how, why

Would they come here

We will chase them away

To get them away 

They can’t stay

We pop out from behind the rocks

To scare them away

But they don’t care

And decide to stay

So we grab our weapons

Then they care

And run away

But when they come back

They have these weird things

And they shoot at us

So we bail

We will come back stronger

And they will run away

Back to outer space

Space Trip to Mars

Space Trip to Mars

By Ballerina Cappuccino

Part one

Mars if not so far

Hop on a bus with Mr. Fuss

As we take off I start to cough

Never so scared

But the weather is nice up there

Stomach swirling

Hair is curling

I feel like i’m going to throw up

Ugh I need to grow up

We all scream AHHHH

As someone laughs HAH

Were so high up

Like bro whats up

Digging through my bag

About to gag

What’s that noise?

Oh it’s just kids playing with toys

As we zoom through the air

With our hair in the air

Looking at the stars 

While eating granola bars

Hands in the air

Like we just don’t care

We took a right

I’m in such fright

Looking through my pocket

Thinking I should lock it

Feeling the gravity

I have no cavities

Getting my gear 

As we start to steer

As I brush my hair 

I remember to check my air

I see Mars

Over all the stars

Landing on Mars

And sanding our cars

Part two

I’ve never really believed in aliens

Oh i just saw my friend Marion

Jumping on mars

Watching the stars

Getting my nails done

As the rails come undone

As I say hey to Marion

Something gets in our way

Weird and green

I need some cookies and cream

I lace my shoes

As I hear some moos

Freaking out

As my friend is tweaking out

I think I see a Alien

Next thing I know they are trying to take me

I say make me?

Were all yelling

Im telling my dad

My dad got taken

It wasn’t rad

Oh hey Brad!

Running for my life

 I see my ex wife

She ruined my life

An alien I see

I have to take a wee

I think I have diarrhea 

What is this criteria

Will I get out?

Will I freak out?

What Goes on in Neptune?

By Sophie Lace

What goes on in Neptune?

Part One:

As I look out the window, I start to see,

All the fun things I could have done, just me.

I could have stayed home;

I could have cheered for my daughter, dressed in her gown;

Celebrated her graduation, instead of floating in town

As I look out the window, I start to see,

I could have kicked the soccer with my daughter all day;

Visited Grandmother, heard her stories, and played;

I could have had cake, birthday wishes, galore,

But now I’m on Neptune, oh, what a score!

As I look at the small dot of Earth, I start to realize,

I could have stayed home,

But I didn’t.

As the first woman on Neptune, I’ve made it my home.

Part Two:

Danger! What is that sound?

What is that thing spinning around?

What are these creatures on my land?

Why are they taking over? It’s not so grand!

Danger! What’s going on? I shout.

They’re taking over, there’s no doubt!

Stealing my food, my home, my peace,

This can’t happen; it has to cease!

Danger! They’re setting foot in my home. 

Now I have no place to roam!

I curl up against the rock, trying to hide,

He couches low, I should have died.

But I didn’t. I’m still alive, but just barely.

He calls out, “Mary!”

“Look what I found! It smells like cherry.”

Mary came and said, “It’s quite small,

And we don’t need animals at all.”

The man let me go,

But why, I don’t know,

It’s time for bed.

Tomorrow, I hope I’m not dead.

The Adventurers of Saturn

The Adventurers of Saturn

By: Betty Pearl

(Part One)

Saturn I will go ,

Saturn I could call home.

The greatness I know will come,

Covers boredom, that is dumb. 

The effort I put into this travel, 

 Feels like you’re a bike on gravel.

To see the treasure of it’s beautiful rings, 

 Is too big of a measure for me.

The endless darkness is much to fright,

Through the endless darkness I take flight.

Jogging meteors everywhere I go,

I look at the Earth as it glows,

Wishing I could be back home.

Don’t let me forget about the different days, 

Is it ten o’clock or time to hit the hay? 

I was ready to land

On that yellow planet,

With amazing rings,

Named Saturn. 

(Part Two) 

What is that,

Could it be,

Someone tall and green, just like me?

Their ship was large, steel, and green.

To be honest, 

They were making a scene.

Are they here to stay,

Or just here for the day?

Should I be afraid, 

Or not scared at all?

For all I know,|?

This could be a ball!

As they approach,

I greet them well.

The smelled like roach, 

But they were swell.

Then I realize that they are human.

Do they need help,

Or am I just stupid?

Should I be confused,

Or ready to fight?

What do they want?

Peace from Earth,

Or war on Saturn. 

Journey to Uranus

Journey to Uranus

By Brett Mike

Part 1

To Uranus, I set my sights,

Through starry depths and endless nights.

A world so cold, so far, so bright,

I chased the glow with all my might.

I know it wasn’t right, but I used the light

To guide me through the night

I was the bride, but then I cried

But then they dried, and I was fine

Then I was in line to go along the borderline

I was on a mission to go to Uranus

But although being humorous 

My thoughts were numerous

But my thoughts were in knots

So I put a chop because I am on top

We became the next new shame

But then my name became famous

Then again, there was a hen

But then I saw very zen men

Then, my in-laws flew me to Uranus

But then it became the new Uranus

Part 2

After arriving at the new Uranus

Even though I was driving, I saw this thriving creature

Although my future as a teacher has gone down 

I start to frown as I know a clown

Then my heart began to depart

Then I had a new start

For being the first person to land on Uranus

Oh, what could that be I see a key

Now I am going to be free

But then I became glowing

But then it became a game

Then there was a flame 

that could not be named

I’m ought to rot

7th Grade Sci-fi Poems

My seventh grade students have been in a unit that one of the main focuses has been space. We have looked at sci-fi stories as well as more realistic concepts.

Their current assignment is to write a poem in two parts. The first part is writing a poem in perspective of an astronaut/someone on a space mission. The first part ends with them landing on the planet/moon etc. that they are heading to. The second part is fromt he perspective of an intelligent life form from that planet reacting to the arrival of these mysterious people.

I have been pleased by the poems and I decided to post some of them on EYG in the Geek Poetry Corner. The students will have a pseudonym on their poem to protect identities.

EYG Favorite Comic Covers of the Week

May 14

We have another week of medalists. Diamond brought us most of the books this week (though not last week’s yet).

Bronze Medalist

I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer #2

Cover art by Daniel Hillyard & Michelle Madsen

I love the bloody hand raised in the air with the green background. This was extremely satisfying as it created some real question about the story.

Silver Medalist

Spectacular Spider-Men #15

Cover art by Mark Bagley & Edgar Delgado

This is a great cover with shots of so many awesome poses by Spider-Man, Miles, Thing, Wasp, Torch and others. They are looking out at us, welcoming us to this book in just the greatest fourth wall breaking manner.

Gold Medalist

Silverhawks #4

Cover art by Mark Spears

Mark Spears missed out on a winning cover last week as I did not get the cover of Space Quest #1 that he did. Spears is back on top this week with this beautiful art for Silverhawks.

Poker Face S2 E2, E3

Spoilers

“Last Looks”

“Whack-A-Mole”

I finished the next two episodes of Poker Face that were available on Peacock tonight. The next episode is released on Thursday.

I commented in the last write-up that I was hoping the running gag of the mafia hitmen chasing after Charlie was not going to be a long time storyline because it felt as if it was going to get old very quickly. Thankfully, that situation came true.

In the second of the two episodes, the whole mafia angle got wrapped up and resolved via a bit of a messy story featuring Rhea Perlman as one of the mafia heads who had placed the contract on Charlie’s head.

This episode also featured a list of guest stars, including Simon Helberg, John Mulaney, Chris Bauer, and Richard Kind.

Then, episode two featured Katie Holmes and the one and only Giancarlo Esposito. Esposito played a funeral parlor owner who had let a film crew film in his parlor. He wound up killing Katie Holmes (who played his disgruntled wife) and cremated her.

Charlie was able figure things out, but wound up being prepped for the crematorium herself.

That episode ended in a very tragic manner for Giancarlo Esposito.

I love the fact that Charlie is no longer on the run from the mob because it did not feel like something that I was going to enjoy. Now with that out of the way, I feel as if Poker Face can really take off this season.
