UCLA Meteorite Gallery Poetry Contest

| 


In celebration of National Poetry Month, we invite all enthusiasts to submit up to 3 poems about meteorites, asteroids, or impacts. We welcome all poetic forms such as haikus, sonnets, limericks, free verses, etc. After careful review of all submissions, we will publish the top 10 poems on our website and the top 3 poems will be posted in the UCLA Meteorite Gallery. Please submit all poems to Juliet Hook at jahook at ucla.edu by May 1st, 2021.

We kick off this contest with an introductory poem by our curator Dr. Alan Rubin.

Waltzing 253 Mathilde

Crushed and cratered, shattered, pelted,
Shocked and fractured, sintered, melted,
Blackened, jumbled, porous, blocky,
Rent, fragmented, vuggy, rocky,
Slowly spinning in the void;
It's a battered asteroid!

Check out our website for inspiration from top literary figures such as Robert Frost and his "A Star in a Stone Boat."
