crater
cosmic impact,
obliterated crust,
shocked quartz,
iridium laden clouds,
cold, dark world;
from all that death
new life…
our kind.

I liked how your alliteration sounded like a stake being driven through the lines of the poem.
Hi Sue ~~ The teacher in you is showing through loud and clear. I learned enough through your poem and some help from Wikipedia to decide that I want a piece. Expensive I suppose. A piece of meteorite is on my secondary bucket list, I will put shocked quartz on it also.
I liked your verse with all the descriptive words just oozing out. Matter is not destroyed though it's form may be changed.
Thank you for your enlightening usage of the prompt. Again, I enjoyed your work here.

Oh yes, I worked in Space activities for fourteen years. My last eleven were at NASA, Houston. Then I 'retired' and taught business at San Jacinto College for 22 more years.

Oh yes, I changed my blog to offer two versions of my poem, the original in 1st person and another now in 3rd person.
