"What we can expect to observe must be resricted by the conditions necessary for our presence as observers" -Astrophysicist Brandon Carter 1974 . . Top heavy planet, skirmish site of earth and water, where earthquakes as rumors of war alert volcanic sentries whose plates, disparate agendas, in discordance defying translation raise armies, tides of salt and lava A battlefield of sport amusing ancient gods, the Sun and Moon, who steal allegiances with pulls both light and dark, shift the upperhand and so the seasons, a game not good or bad but always without reason [This message has been edited by RSWells (01-10-2003 05:57 PM).] |

Perhaps a reason, but not for us to see or understand. |

Boy that was sure well thought out poetry, but then again I am so easily impressed by your work. I have to agree with Nan, rush a little heat up here too  ~ The soul lies buried in ink that does not flow ~ |

Richard, I like the title and your poem reflects it. Made me smile in looking to see how you wove it together. I like this a great deal and the form you used in writing; your concise choice of words work perfectly. It is so nice to view the results of a master poet's work. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

oh, my, so we can blame it on the wobbling world...is it a chicken/egg thing? does the world wobble from man's messing or does man's messing result from world's wobble? hmmm, fantastic poem and food for thought, terribly well woven! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

I saw Blake's "The Ancient of Days" when I read this--some things are best left to the gods..the rhyme, the reason, the season--enjoyed!! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |
