Ph: Physics: Love: All Is Stardust But Comments

Rating: 4.6

Like an excited smear of photo luminescent bacteria,
Trembling with a beauty so fearfully short lived,
On a dark globe, 'mother earth, ' that is itself stardust,
Mankind's cities gleam feebly, tremulous, at night

Brian, I was totally mesmerized by this poem. It appealed to me very much on several levels. Love how you explained our mysterious universe like a mystic of old. Having flown many times at night your poem took me right into the essence of your scientific explanations - I was fascinated - spell-bound if you must. I wanted to read more of the same! I can and do appreciate the last lines. Maybe for others you could have stayed with the mysticism of science, instead of switching to simplistic lines. That I think, may have changed the feeling of your poem. Otherwise I loved and enjoyed it thoroughly.

A great poem with such beautiful narration of reality behind the universal phenomenons and it is a poem of difference mixed with scientific truth and ideal thoughts. Happy to read the poem.

This photon, in so loving you, Surrenders its identity completely, Just for the chance to warm you one iota. ...............i like it. (well, generally, i liked the whole poem. it certainly is different than many of mine, which, though 'funny', are less thought-full and less 'poetic'.) has anyone determined how many photons a star HAS to start out with? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - as for your response to j. tillery's comment, i don't feel that he was saying i don't like the last lines. after all, brian, i (bri) like some parts of this poem though i don't think i have a grip on them. know what i mean? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i copied this: get a grip (on something) to understand how to deal with something The program will have helpful tips on how to get a grip on your finances.

Brian, I like this work a lot. To me the last four lines seemed to be an abrupt change in direction that I'm not sure I have a grip on yet, but up to that point very creative and thought provoking.
