Hi, never did this before, but would like to try the ambitious route...here goes
Music Player Play Me
Melody
Usually is nice, but
Slowly turns
Icy because she eats
Cookies in the night like fresh meat
Please
Let me lay you down
And
You will know
Enormous joys
Robin's egg blue
Pretty birds
Labour in love
As usual, nice
You
Man
Eater, shame on YOU

GROMA
Great pleasure for me that this old technical word
Remains in memories, lovely glamor of another world
Often, new equipments deny their origin in silence
Meanwhile, they mark the end of the poetry in science
Are a true deny of their historical original word
Groma is a Roman surveying instrument having plumb lines hanging from four arms at right angles

NADIR
Nevertheless not really used, a sort of anti-
Azimuth, more used when observing the sky
Devil kingdom opposite to God paradise?
I never associate to these images, just a device
Relative to measurement in the fields and industry!
Nadir is the point of the celestial sphere, directly opposite the zenith; inferior pole of the horizon; point of the celestial sphere directly under the place where we stand.)
