The Poetry of Science

It ain’t necessarily so
The Earth travels wherever we go
The moon and the stars
Come to us bottled in jars
It ain’t necessarily so.

When I think of that tiny Blue Dot
Your name jostles my senses a lot
You fire up my brain
In a pleasant refrain
I just wanted someone to know.

Way down in a tiny live cell
Is a place we don’t know very well
Wherever we move
Natural selection approves
It ain’t necessarily so.

When I’m near a very black hole
Let me say I’m nobody’s fool
Near the event horizon
Things are shiftin’ and risin’
It ain’t necessarily so.

There was a young maiden named Bright
Who could travel much faster than light
She took off one day
In a relative way
And returned the preceding night.

I had to laugh at the last stanza. Very creative look at the ins and outs of our universal need to understand our own universe.

Witty and humorous, in a word, clever, this poem had Ed Phillips written all over it in invisible letters. Except under the title, of course.

The last verse reminded me of an episode of Carl Sagan's series, Cosmos, where he illustrated the concept of traveling at light speed with a person on a bicycle. It was pretty amusing but it made a difficult concept much easier to understand. Blight returning the preceding night does exactly the same thing. As I said before, that was pretty clever of you!

Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Au revoir, à la prochaine.

I can always count on reading your work will cause some cells to celebrate. Your choice of subjects, unlike a lot of others, is always a surprise. This short trip with science was rewarding as you chose to address both small and large aspects of scientific wonder. Thanks for posting.
