Welcome!You have arrived at StarPoet, a comet falling toward morning. The poet's still here, Sappho's child, slightly disheveled.

| Hurricane Celia | ||
| Perfectly circular, powerful Hurricane Celia spaned hundreds of miles over the Pacific Ocean in this image from June 24, 2010. Rough-textured clouds surround the storm?s distinct eye. Farther from the center of the storm, spiral arms appear thinner and smoother. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, on NASA?s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Celia at 1:55 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 24, 2010. Just five minutes later, the U.S. National Hurricane Center classified Celia as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. Image Credit: NASA... |
Doing Sappho
 Sappho and I have natural voices that sing in harmony. Sometimes I feel her voice when writing and I let her flow through me.
The simplest explanation is that random chance has produced a similar set of atoms and synapses with similar poetic tendencies.
Or, just maybe, the destruction of her poems in the bonfires of her enemies left Sappho smoldering over these long centuries.
Perhaps the whispers in my head are her lost poems sifted from the ashes - those she would write if only she were alive and not me.
