A Head Full of Space
What direction will the contest entrants take?

Oh, the possibilities are endless for the subject of Space Which ones will shine through and be given a place? It’s one of the topics in the Medium writing contest Some will be serious, others written in jest
Personal space will be covered, I have no doubt— When someone gets too close and you need to spout. Maybe, it will be tackled with a pandemic twist A subject some writers won’t be able to resist
There’s the matter of how much space we actually need It’s debatable, relatable and personal indeed So many factors come into play — An opportunity for you to have your say
A space to live, escape, relax and breathe We even need one to go to and seethe Downsizing, upgrading, we want less — or more Space that is yours, whether rich or poor
Our kids need a safe space safe to learn and grow What constitutes that? Maybe you know? Share your wisdom on all we should do To stop them being stuck to their devices like glue
The outer space fans will enlighten us with facts On black holes, space travel and their impact A story about stars, the sun or the moon? Whatever you write, it better make us all swoon
Perhaps someone will write about Padme and Star Wars? She’s a judge — and a mention may enhance your score In a galaxy far, far away those movies were told They’ve been around forever yet never grow old
Other approaches that could give you some clout: Using spaces in coding I know nothing about In writing, they’re vital or it becomes an unintelligible mess Most definitely not worthy of Medium press.
There’s always music that you can fall back on Many an artist has a space-themed song From Bowie to Flock of Seagulls, there are tunes galore Write about them — that’s novel for sure.
The topic is wide open for creative thought Whatever you write, just remember it ought To be well constructed and grammatically sound For your chance to move through to the final round
