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... |

Phases
by Sappho Completed by L. J. Thompson
Mother, my muse, I'm sorry,
But I can't work my weaving tonight, For my sweet Aphrodite Has killed my magic With her love for that boy over there. She's overwhelmed with lust
For his little toy And her need to be filled with children. Such a silly girl sometimes.
She knows very well
I can fill her desires And that her and I are family. There's no need for her to marry, You can have babies without the shackles. But for now, she has left me wordless
And I must wait for her once again. Copyright Sappho 300 B. C. E. and Lisa Jain Thompson 1998 C.E.
