Space

Space

All of the universe,

Or the room in a case,

Non-existent,

Without a trace.

Cannot be created,

Nor erased.

A stunning,

Abominable 

Disgrace,

That which is Space.

A very impactful and profound use of imagery and analogy to describe what is in essence existence itself - whether Man, creature, the elements, or life in general. It is also very three-dimensional in its aphorisms, portraying the subject with both awe and repulsion... as life indeed is... "A stunning, abominable disgrace.."
Excellent poem.

[Ruth]

This is nicely concise!
Your choice of words are good too, you have portrayed space really well!

Well written and said.

your talent for summing up subject matter that is so complicated/difficult to wrap one's mind around in such a short, sweet, thoughtful fashion is truly a gift. You really have a talent and I can honestly say the two poems of yours that I have read have been two of the handful of poems I have enjoyed most on this site. I will definitely be keeping up with your work. Keep it up, please!

great lyrics and a good rhythmic rhyme/tone

I like science and space. But this poem gets you wondering how and why it got created.

[The Uncommon Muse]

the only thing I did not like is the second line...it seems like it is from a separate poem...it does not add to the piece, it detracts...but the rest is very interesting and thought provoking.

'Cannot be created,
Nor erased.'

Liked this, its one that rubs your mind raw trying to wrap your head around the words you're sure you understand. But then, don't the best ones always do that?

I must brace my face for the jolt of what existed prior to space.

[SamBug]

This was interesting
