Notes About The Poem

Hourglass Nebula

HOURGLASS NEBULA

A masterpiece — the Creator dabbles in time
with windblown hues of crimson bands, narrow
neck like the green eye of a nebula monster.

Painted in amazing red shifts,
scurrying away from the earth,
as the hubble chases it.

The shape of an hourglass
ne’er turned over
except by curious minds.

Little scientists making sense
of the divine,
incomprehensible find.

An alien in outer space, surely
jealous of a lovely form
and ruddy cheeks.

Kim, again you have captured all with a meandering of an artists' pallet, for a poet to draw out the essence of colors, and to give each, their meaning to be, and to that end, I would like to add my personal heartfelt thanks for gracing your awesome rendering within this contest that was made possible by the PoetrySoup members, as a place to be solely recognized and honored by its community of fellow poets, Aloha always, William Kekaula
