POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have always read and aspired to write poetry. I’m now in a moment of my life when I have the time and patience to practice writing poetry, which always gives me great pleasure and a different sort of purpose than I find in scientific endeavors.
Up Here
Time is a river up here in the sky, It don’t go straight, it don’t go by. It just keeps on flowing with a mighty force, And I’m just a leaf that’s drifting along its course.
But then I behold a black hole looming in the distance, A dark and hungry beast that defies all resistance. And I sense a pull that I can’t resist, And I wonder what lies beyond the abyss.
I get closer and closer to the point of no return, And I witness the light twisting and turning. And I experience the time stretching and slowing, And I wonder what will happen to my being.

Birds of Prey
Drones in the sky,
Like hawks on the fly,
They circle and wait,
For their next kill.
They see all and hear all,
They know where you fall,
They strike when you least expect it,
And they never give a damn.
They show no emotion,
No mercy, no notion,
Of the lives that they take and destroy,
They're just another weapon of war.
Soldiers below,
They have nowhere to go,
They're helpless and hopeless and lost,
They're just another target to hit.
They live in fear,
They shed many tears, ...

Dreaming of the Future from the Past
I dreamed a dream of innovation,
A flower that bloomed with new ideas,
A lady with power,
A man who knew his way.
I woke and saw the world,
A grapevine that winds itself like a play,
Improvisation,
A society that values creation.
I looked to the future,
A world that's always changing,
A game-changer,
A solution that's always new.
I saw the past,
A change that's always true,
A path to progress,
The future that we all deserve.
But I also saw the darkness,
The fear, the hatred, the...

Rivers of the Sky: A Poem about Climate Change
The planet's burning like a fever,
And we're feeling the heat.
It's time to take action,
Before we face defeat.
The streams of cloud and air,
A force beyond compare,
A gift from Mother Nature,
A source of life and danger.
Atmospheric rivers:
A wonder of nature.
A long and endless flow of water high,
A stream that blesses or curses us.
The snow that falls from the sky,
A gift from rivers high,
A source of joy and wonder,
A sight that makes us ponder.
But as the climate changes,
And the...
