On most forums I have seen there was a thread where poets could post their poems. Most of them were lively and popular. I have not seen one on Babble, so I thought I would start one to see if Babble poets will want to participate.
I will start it off with one of my own:
Saturn
The pale, pastel-pink globe,
embraced by jaunty rings,
on a vast, star-studded sky,
drifted, slowly,
across my viewfinder.
…Earth slowly rotated
under my feet,
summer-dawn breeze
gently ruffled my hair…
Saturn was there, immutable,
following its path of causes and effects,
and I thought of Galileo,
who laboured over a block of glass,
grinding it into a lens,
to behold the same planet…
…and, through a gap of four hundred years,
he and I
looked into each other's eyes.
