Columbia
by Mehrina B. (Age: 13)
copyright 11-24-2005


Age Rating: 4 to 127

 
On February 1, 2003
Over the wide Texas Sky
There occurred a tragedy
Within a shuttle that’ll no longer fly

The time of Columbia
NASA’s oldest craft
Has come to an end
With a mighty blast

As it was coming down
To land home free
Into the Kennedy Space Center
But then a calamity

Struck first the left wing
With the temperature sensors
Which failed Columbia
With 2 other tensors

Which are as follows:
Tire pressure indication,
Lost on the left main
Gear of the operation

And the last fact that I know of:
Excessive structural heating
And perhaps some causes unknown
Hath led to the exploding

Of Good, Old Columbia


*I wrote this poem when Columbia the space shuttle blew up. I'm an Outer Space person, so I was pretty sad about that. I found out what caused the shuttle to explode, and I wove it into the poem.

Ahalan,

Write long, and prosper! Not only technically well done but a great reporting of the facts. Nit-pik if u want it. It could have some more details added to it. It leaves me wanting more.

Salaam al aikum!

Optimus tribute to a terrible tragedy. I remember hearing the many different ways it had exploded, but this seemed to be the right answer. I'm glad that had been cleared up.
You have a piece of future history recorded on the internet and in your notebook (if thats where the rough draft resides). Someday you will be able to tell the next generations about this accident.
