Write a new poem using one of the laws of physics as your prompt but transposed to human experiences or the human condition (not about physics itself) - free reign beyond that. E.g don't explain the theory but use the concept to extrapolate poetically. Name the theory at the top of your poem with a short summary (epigraph). Title the poem "Humanity"

4. Quantum Superposition . A particle can exist in multiple states or places simultaneously until measured Are humans waves or particles? Even an entire human being, under the right conditions, can act like a quantum wave. If we can define it, we can quantify just how “wave-like” a particle or set of particles is. I count the magnificent moons in my stills as I await the phantom voyeur with stone blue eyes and a fated look, which sets upon me The one who stirs my soul, measuring me up in coiled silvery spoons What obsessive observations you must have not to turn away those piercing eyes My world stops, my feelings set on and off Unseen I meander in other spaces Your eyes are the “switch” without that which forbids my existence, hence looped are my stills in many places From the center of life’s probabilities Spaciously lit across the universe, with bits of me in tow Collapsed in your arms, we’ve launched our rainbow Revealing our humanity in the flesh, in language of mathematician’s music Riding the unscrupulous waves of light roaming across all existence, reverberating ruthless through you, displacing us Composing are the alchemists and their peers ~ Splitting into a myriad of mirrors I bare myself to a random reality, Totality’s filigree, tangling dangling When you’re not here, when you’re lost in thought As the haze spins up and down around me my world is unseen and the scale’s unbalanced Showcasing that I’m equally dead as I am alive Resuscitate me not—please, it’s here that monotonous music is unheard in this uncertain trapeze Until eyes of azure translucence are upon, I cease to exist in fervor, in your zeal Alive and very real to boot! I’m gauged like the intrinsic brightness that shines off a star Until then, am I just a figment of deepest intensity? By far, humbled to be, take the bait and consummate my reality Be the glance exigency Impenetrable eyes of bluest skies I’ve lost sight of you As a still, until we meet again

The observing eyes are a great extended metaphor, Anaya, especially of the colour blue in its many hues. Mine are mostly blue, depending on my mood, then they turn grass green. So it caught my eye :) Congratulations with this excellent write where you expertly wove the surreal in with the laws of physics.

You sure have an eye, my dear poetess, so cool to have such beauty, be proud! I enjoyed your comment. I appreciate your sponsorship and contests as well. Congratulations on your win! Inertia your chosen law, objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes the velocity to change...and 'LOVE' your cause. Enjoyed

Anaya, Your poem reminds me of quantum entanglement. The effects of blue eyes looking at you causing your feelings to be set on and off is very clever and fits really well. This is a very interesting contrast to your MLK tribute and has complexity that rivals that of quantum particles. I have to smile about it! Take care. BTW, I was listening to a discussion about this on NPR and they sometimes use laser light of various wavelengths and duration to adjust qbit superposition. Just interesting.

Yes! In computer technology,. This allows qubits to represent a combination of 0 and 1, which is essential for quantum computing, as you know. Many experiments are still being carried out, exciting it is. Love NPR! Let's hope you know who doesn't rid of our favorite media.

The last line is such a brilliant way to end this very creative take on the law that youv chosen to write for ! I love the flow and depth of your word weaving and how you've written also " my world is unseen and the scale’s unbalanced Showcasing that I’m equally dead as I am alive Resuscitate me not—please, it’s here that monotonous music is unheard in this uncertain trapeze " these lines speak volumes and hit so deep! What a powerful take this is! A fave for me and best wishes in the contest. Sending you light today and always

Superposition a vigorously diligent study, I may look more into the experiments, it can only improve my mind. It made me happy that you faved, Ink! *TYSM*

Very intense, with a focus on those alluring sexy blue eyes that hypnotize. I really think this is one of your best. You must have spent some time with this one. Dilly should be pleased, although I might ditch the "thee" for you. I don't think she's a fan of old English

Sometimes blue, sometimes hazel. Kinda weird

Oh, maybe I will, although she does use whilst often enough. Anyway it's not about Dilly so much, and what one may think another doesn't. It was mostly for me, I studied the Superposition, I crushed it in two days, meanwhile watching "Interstellar" re-released on Netflix. My observer has blue eyes a tease for Dilly, she had mentioned in a poem how blue her eyes are. :) Me too! I love it too.

Dear Anaya Your wonderful poem examines the relationship between quantum physics and human experience, specifically how perception and observation impact human life. It explores the notion that human emotions and identities might exist in several states concurrently until they are noticed or measured by another, much like particles in quantum physics. Wishing you luck in the contest! It's always enjoyable to read your poetry, friend.
