The scenes of month seven
Are utter delight,
As twelve pumped-up fireflies
Vanquish the night
Eschewing the bee-dance
Of tight figure-eights;
Most soar haphazardly,
Seeking out mates...
Some amble eastward
Just a random array of thoughts, opinions, and the occasional whimsical (or not quite so whimsical!) rambling...
The scenes of month seven
Are utter delight,
As twelve pumped-up fireflies
Vanquish the night
Eschewing the bee-dance
Of tight figure-eights;
Most soar haphazardly,
Seeking out mates...
Some amble eastward
... yet then consider what makes up a galaxy: scores
of planets, stars etc. !!
"On
Tuesday morning, NASA rolled out a series of images that showed the
capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful
space observatory ever built".
So, who still thinks that we're the only
"human beings" out there?
On the other hand: "The 'rare Earth' hypothesis expresses the idea
that Earth-like planets genuinely suitable for intelligent life are few and far
between".
'Food for Thought' would truly be an under-statement !
Quis

Quae
regio,
Quae mundi plaga?
6-24-2022: Happy B'day, Son !
Our 'Cancer-crab'
Deserves a quip;
{We'll launch one
Not so 'flirty'}
The lunar tides
Are curling high:
"Oh Ryan, you've
Turned 30 !!!!"
... and many, many happy returns
A cardinal preens in
The light water-spray;
Two hummingbirds join him,
And shortly, one
jay...
The sun rests on rubies,
Turning mauve-like, then gray...
Bats fly in stealth-mode
Before the dawn's fray.
Savannah smiles down at
What one time was
"up"
Has now slithered down...
Our once giddy
smiles
Have morphed into frowns...
Only the few folk
