Today’s #poetryprompt:

Make up a new “old saying” to include in your poem.

You can try to transform an existing one. Like for example “A watched apple never spoils!”

Each ship drops its seeds
Fulfilling the settlers' dream

Look skyward. Go now.
Flying Free; we flee the nest!
Each launch brings a thrill.

Claim new worlds - Our vow.
Fire flies on sacred quest,
taking all! But, still...

Star now ours, somehow.
Falling snow on all the rest.
Our dreams: Did we Fulfill?

Less time on that sphere
dreaming of a worldly form
never quite fulfilled.
More time on that sphere
living in a worldly form
trying to fulfill ...

Yes, there’s a human drive to reach for the stars, but what happens after we fulfill that goal?

The 22 November 2025 #ScifaikuSaturday #prompt is

brown brittle remains
of a large sycamore leaf--
golden memories

short form:
bare sycamore tree--
golden ghosts
linger
