The following was prompted by LELAND's wonderful poem, Nature's Clock.

The Relationships from Microscopic to Macrocosm are quite ORGANIZED - certainly NOT CHAOS!

TIME - TIDE - SPACE

LELAND - RE: Nature’s Clock - as Karen said - Orchestrated - your poem is not unlike a symphony, well-balanced, double-rhymed, a well-timed theme, and at the same time, factual, informative, and challenging! SUPERB - would be my word for it!

Another word for you and your readers here to ponder, is one I learned while a young teenager in high School, I used to use it often to STUMP people when playing the game "Hang The Man." You know, where someone guesses one letter at a time, and each WRONG answer, you draw a part of the STICK-MAN's body.

It is only 6 letters long: _ _ _ _ _ _ It has something to do with ASTRONOMY *. The majority of people have never ever even HEARD the word before. And if you did hear me pronounce it, in its 3 syllables, you MIGHT guess the 3 consonants in it.

Unlike the TV show, you can NOT BUY any vowels, you guess, and if wrong, OOPS! There goes another body part! I'll bet no one can get it with one DOZEN guesses!

Any Challengers? Tom. NO GOOGLING!

P.S. Just recently saw Special on PBS, Rick Steves, visiting STONEHENGE, and other larger Rock Circles in British Isles. And my recent post FANTASTIC TUTORIAL, would really give you a VISUALIZATION of your FINE poem above! Check it out!


* - is a kind of unity, especially through coordination or alignment, most commonly used in the astronomical and/or astrological sense.

P.S. - just watched 'LOST IN SPACE" last night, with William Hurt and Matt LeBlanc - when you put it all together - QUITE AMAZING!
