the flowers of Jupiter ...

the flowers are in bloom
   on Jupiter this night
their cadmium tidal waves
   swimming in the big storm
   racing 'cross gaseous prairies
crackle of lightning's fire
   sends them skirmishing
   a thousand miles
   in every direction
sixteen moons look down
   to the giant's crimson sty
   (only specks to infest its (i)ris)
   begging drinks of nectar
   from Jove(ian)'s throne
the flowers of Jupiter
   a million times a million
   and still counting
   themselves as lucky clovers
   never lying from needing water
   never dying from being picked

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

thanks all for reading ... wasn't too sure about this one at first ... it started in my mind as being far less absract, but we all know how poems have a tendency for change from beginning to end ... thanks again
