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... |

By Sappho Completed by L. J. Thompson I am very aware
That my affection Is oft-times returned with injury. Why does she pretend to love him now
When we both know where her heart is kept? Does she really need to be filled that badly?
Look how she ignores me,
Preferring to prick herself With his hairy body. He can't even play the lyre correctly
And so far has shown little desire to learn. Copyright Sappho 600 B.C.E. and Lisa Jain Thompson 1998 C.E.
