Rhyme and Reason Three - Poetry Inspired by Science (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Poetry that favors rhyme;
Inspired all by science;
Outward to the edge of time;
Or tied to earthly cadence.
Light and written all for fun,
There is no angst to hide.
You're invited now to sample one
Of my poems inside.
Over forty fun poems of science and nature. Read the popular Desert Watermelon, a few haiku, and learn how to say Cruithne (Earth's second moon?) These poems are inspired by a challenge from Richard Feynman, one of the most influential 20th century physicists. He wrote:
"poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?" Enjoy over forty short, descriptive rhymes of science.

Autorenporträt

Kate Rauner, Hanover, New Mexico, USA
A science fiction writer, poet, firefighter, and engineer on the way to becoming an eccentric old woman.

I write science fiction novels and science-inspired poetry, and serve as a volunteer firefighter. I'm also a retired environmental engineer and Cold War Warrior (honestly, that's what Congress called us) because I worked in America's nuclear weapons complex. Now living on the edge of the southwest's Gila National Forest with my husband, cats, llamas, and dog, I'm well on my way to achieving my life-goal of becoming an eccentric old woman.
