Hawaiian Tropic
Coconuts and cream
Scent lingers, tropical steam
Oh hear the sun scream
(Written for Thursday Poets Rally Week 67)
Like this:
Stellarium
Night sky lights, shine on
Into the cosmic unknown
Waiting to collide
Lightyears seem to glide
Celestial ties bind
Hearts beat in time
My neutron star
Never too far
“Give me your hand and you will see.
Your heart is keeping time with me”
(Written for Thursday Poets Rally Week 66. The last two lines were quoted from one of my favorite songs: Aqualung’s Brighter Than Sunshine.)
An artists’s concept of the 2004 occurence in which a neutron star underwent a “star quake”, causing it to flare brightly, temporarily blinding all x-ray satellites in orbit. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
UPDATE: Thank you Thursday Poets Rally for the Perfectly Charming Poet Award. I nominate Blue Platypus for the next award.
It seems like a STRETCH. Thought the rhymes are wretched. Thank you for the award. Making 18 comments wasn’t that hard.
Like this:
In orbit (a reprise)
Prince of tides
On this moonlit night
Shuteye-view of a silent hereafter
Zoom within orbit
Just a breath away
From the one true axis
No hows
Or whys
Just here
And now
Flushed and perplexed
The moon waxes and wanes
With a sigh
