The blue planet

This poem is a sonnet.

Galileo came to Jupiter with a question,

"Who is more merrier for in my vision,

Neptune and Pluto are fighting

Help me, Oh god of Lightning!"

The star seekers often said

"Neptune is further beautiful with its flowing bed"

Or the rival star seekers who demand

"It is Pluto with its snowing land."


Jupiter said that," I shall give you one

That can be beaten by none

Who is more merrier than Neptune's gleaming land

And who is more merrier than Pluto's snowy sand."

So Jupiter claimed that it is blue earth

Which is warmer than Hestia's hearth."

MARIGOLD  This poem is inspired by daffodils by William Wordsworth: One day that was sunny, Many steps I took hurriedly. Seeing a white, fluffy bunny, I sat under a tree quietly. Ahead was a gurgling pond Ahead was another March Hare With one more as a bond Eating the meadow's grass so bare. Behind me were steep slopes Above me was a strong tree With a joyful swing with ropes And the leaves with birds so free. Surrounded was I with bright Orange and strong marigolds, Turned I to the right, And saw more marigold abodes. I thought and wished  I could stay here forever And suddenly it all finished A beautiful dream that I would have only once. -Erica Anahtreek

Chemistry

  Chemistry You’ll know it is chemistry When there is a pinch of mystery And when Iron is called Ferrum And lead is called Plumbum.   When it’s Na as in natrium And not So for sodium It’s K for potassium; not a P Things far from what you see.   When the valency of H is 1 The use of that is just done Because the formula is H2O2 Then the world has gone askew.   When inert gases like Xenon don’t react But there is a Xenon difluoride in fact When it gets colder, they contract But water has a whole different act.   When your world is inside out And you mind is full of doubt Don’t worry as you’re learning chemistry There must be some sort of wizardry.   When rules here don’t always matter When your mind wants to stammer The weirdness has just begun Chemistry is going to be a lot of fun.

PAPER BOATS

 PAPER BOATS Flowing down waters, my yellow one Paper creases folded, flowing on Without an end and no clue Not knowing where it' ll end up. Perhaps on the coast of Hawaii Perhaps on the coast of Japan Without, a worry flowing downstream Filled with my hopes and dreams. With a pace that's strong as the wind It passes through the hills and the plains But little did I know that once in the sea The crashing waves tore the little one apart.
