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... |

Sapphic Fragments
1.
First Light
I rolled over this morning
And smelled the last traces Of your perfume on my pillow, Reminding me that My parents should go To the movies more often. 2.
Eclipse
If I were to ask you,
During the lunar eclipse, To steal back into the woods, Would you give up the moon For the rest of the millennium, And a few quiet moments in my arms? 3.
Early MorningThe night wind rises,
Drawing me back to your musky fragrance. I lie awake, Waiting for you to stir. 4.
Reverie
What slender belly lies waiting
To snatch me from my reverie? Copyright Lisa Jain Thompson September 22-28, 1996
