Conferring re: verse-science junctions…
A welcome impending
Of sessions, presenting,
With schedule now under construction.

Borrowing its title from the PhD of Brian May, Nathan Curnow's 'A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud' marries the wonder and vertigo of scientific discovery with that of music making.

Hi poetry fans! This is the second stanza of my poem "Seven Lessons" inspired by reading physicist Carlo Rovelli's amazing little book "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics."

Eighth attempt: full octet, now achieving!
(The pace of time, still disbelieving.)
April’s theme: web-immerse
Welcome break of light verse
With chemistry’s words, interweaving.

A near-automatic reliance
On matters of instinct and guidance
With nuance observed
And key efforts conserved,
Once routine gets down to a science.

A phrase known, first, as metaphoric,
Revealed as a test of things auric!
Gold’s non-reactivity;
Nitric acid’s vicinity;
Their context in settings historic.

Will study STEM concepts
And insights behold;
Temp’rature scale used in
Thermodynamics
Cites absolute zero
As ultimate cold.

When famous non-mixtures will roil,
Note layered molecular toil;
A point here admissible:
Some compounds, immiscible!
The well-known case: water and oil.

I think that I shall always find,
For Arbor Day, this verse-form kind.
Iambic feet of Kilmer’s ode:
Botanic celebration code.

Sunshine streaming through the green leaves of a tree in April, in honor of Arbor Day. The poem’s meter parallels that of Joyce Kilmer’s famous 1913 verse (“I think that I shall never see / A poem lovely as a tree…”).

A cardinal, a pebble, the thunder…
Phenomena countless in number.
Each morning’s observing;
Perspectives, unswerving:
We walk in the middle of wonders.

A small red cardinal in a tree. The photos in this post celebrate signs of spring including birds, deer, and flowers, in honor of Earth Day. The poem itself is inspired by quotes from natural philosopher John Herschel and poet Mary Oliver. In "Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy," written in 1851, Herschel states: "To the natural philosopher there is no natural object unimportant or trifling,” citing “the fall of an apple” or “the situation of a pebble” as two examples. He ultimately notes that one “walks in the midst of wonders.” In Oliver’s 2012 poem “A Thousand Mornings,” she celebrates, in part, “...morning, the light deepening, the wind easing and just waiting, as I too wait (and when have I ever been disappointed?) for redbird to sing.” Two deer looking out from the midst of the woods.

The structural formula: lending
A newfound depiction, augmenting
Compound’s connectivity
Through visual proclivity;
First step t’ward 3-D orienting.

Molecular formula’s mission
For compound: precise definition
Of the atoms involved.
(Sans, though, structure resolved!)
Exact chemical composition.

In ratio set whole-numerical:
Relationship simple
For chemical symbols,
The formula known as empirical.

With chem into poems adapted:
The rhyming routine
Takes its shape on the screen,
As April marks halfway point “passèd.”

Will occupy bridging position

Post week-and-a-half trip’s duration
Of lunar and space exploration…
To Artemis 2:
Welcome back, valiant crew,
With over-the-moon exultation!

Two roles, both chem-crucial, aligned here,
In artistic combo’s reminder;
Blend a bright-vivid tint
With an adhesive’s stint:
A paint is a pigment plus binder.

Intent of the artist, evading.
The “fugitive pigment”
As putative figment,
With color scheme, speedily fading.

In early-spring sequence:
