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... |

Congruency
Circle upon circle upon oval on sphere,
The closer is far, the farther is near; Inward, outward the figuring eights
Open and close the conical gates.
Winding, twining a convolute disk,
Whilring, twirling a swirling mist; Rotunding sphericity of globular flight To undulate spirals of involute night. Criss-crossed clowns whose circus bands,
Stepping across the seedling sands, Stumble back again once more
To kaleidoscopic converging doors.
Cylindrical cells of confluent thought,
Seeking asylum in shells to be taught, Seducing concurrently and repulsing what's sought. Congeries of congested rot,
Sanctioning spirits for the soul of a dot. Answers angling out and away,
Summer suns searching for a day;
Divergent assemblies to be stolen or bought,
Chased after but never caught. I am waiting,
For in the beginning God created heaven and earth
And in the end earth created god. I am here,
Waiting.
There are no mists or fogs surrounding me,
No shrouding shadows screen me. I was here at the beginning,
I will be here at the end, Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere.
