This is a question poem that I wrote for a Creative Writing class I am taking this semester! I am a Chemistry major in school, but I thought I'd take advantage of some of my free summer credits to take a fun class. Not that chemistry isn't fun as you can see by the fact that I decided to write about it! I often look at the world around me and ponder the chemical and biological processes that are going on and wanted to convey that in my poem!
Have you ever tried to follow the
Motion of electrons
the
Vibration of the molecules
that make up the world?
Have you ever looked around you
and seen the
Expansion of marshmallows
the
Cracking and Snapping
of firewood burning
as tiny little processes
carried out by
Biological Machines?
that run in a matter and
a fashion so
Fascinating
and so
Complex
they can no longer be
Described by the
Models We Concoct
to explain the world around us.
and if you've ever done so
Have you ever really wondered
How all this is
Possible?
How something so small
can make changes so
Significant?
How one tiny change in a
twisting
Strand of DNA
can bring
Calamity and Disaster
or a miracle
that brings
us a just little closer
to the
Perfectly created being?
