Premium Member Elements Part 4: Fire - Pele, Goddess of Fire

Pele, Goddess of Fire

First fire surges from the inner Earth.
Island waters greet the fire goddess
Risen from Earth's fiery core, her birth,
Endows with lava, land from her first kiss.

Exploding from a volcanic shower
Earth spews fire as Pele emerges...
Her hair glows golden in the twilight hour,
Streaming slowly as her passion surges.

Gracefully she moves and quietly creeps
On her burning path toward silver sea.
Wanting all things that she covers, she keeps.
Pele's steamy kisses saved for the sea.

Sorrow's shadowed Pele for timeless years.
Sadness is seen in her ebony tears.

*Pele's hair is a form of lava. It is named after Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. It can be defined as volcanic glass fibers or thin strands of volcanic glass (Shimozuru, 1994). The strands are formed through the stretching of molten basaltic glass from lava, usually from lava fountains, lava cascades, and vigorous lava flows.

*Pele's tears
Pele’s tears is a geological term for small pieces of solidified lava drops formed when airborne particles of molten material fuse into tearlike drops of volcanic glass. Pele’s tears are jet black in color and are often found on one end of a strand of Pele's hair. Pele's tears is primarily a scientific term used by volcanologists.

Prized for perfumes and medicines,
Rainbow personified & God’s messenger,
Resting the souls of dead women,
Decorum of the graves,
Delight of the ancient artists.

Blooming on Minoan Walls,
Sculptured in stone at Karnak.
Living memories of the French revolution.
Clovis put you on his banner
And won over Germanic tribe.
Louis VII adopted you as device,
‘Fleur-de-lis’ the symbol of France.
Germany suspended you in beer barrels,
And France to enrich the wine,
England to give flavour to brandies,
And Russia flavoured a soft drink.

Then, plucked in a state of chastity,
Now, relegated to flavour toothpaste.

Mario and Luigi

Whether it's a shellcreeper or it's a freezie,
fret not, mes amis! you have Mario and Luigi,
"mama mia!","Let's go!" when you hear them say,
those plumbers in red & green are off to save the day!

Luigi is the slower one - but his jumps are far and wide,
whilst Mario, with his scarlet cap, runs faster than the tides,
always together, vanquishing ruthless enemies,
partners in time and adventure - for all of eternity!
 
Browser, the unscrupulous enemy, always kidnaps Princess Peach,
The brothers to the rescue! They sail across the seven seas!,
the boiling deserts, tiresome grasslands and the Koopa enemies,
they beat 'em all, with their fireballs and attain eternal glory.

the damsel is rescued, she hugs her noble men,
they escort her back to the Mushroom Kingdom, Yoshi too joins them,
Toad is there to welcome the weary, exhausted lot,
and bestow them with laurels for the demons they had fought.

And hence this way another tiring adventure is put to rest,
Mario and Luigi retire to their homes, waiting another test,
next morning, they hear the news "Princess peach was Kidnapped again!"
"Let's go!", "Mama Mia!" and another adventure begins!

Firefox, Firefox
Why don’t you behave
You’re my latest browser
And I’d like you to stay



But some of these add ons
Just concave
They make you crash 
And misbehave



But I must admit
You’re the best so far
I’ve tried a few
And you’re a star 



You don’t like Java
I think, I can tell
It’s red in my plug ins
Why do you rebel



So before I ditch you
I’ll give you a chance
If you crash again
It will be your last



Firefox, Firefox
Let’s get on together
You do the browsing
And I’ll check the weather

Martian Conniosseur

MAVEN tastes the air
too thin to hold oceans' broth
wafted on Sol's winds.



Note: this is my entry for NASA's "Going To Mars" campaign.  I believe it deserves to win, because in 17 syllables it not only summarizes MAVEN's (Mars Atmospheric Volatile EvolutioN) mission, but also alludes to the meaning of its name as an expert or connoisseur (as though it were a master chef, lifting the lid on the desert planet to sample its boiled away oceans).  If you agree with me, please visit the link below (just copy and paste it into your browser) to vote your support, before July 29.  You may make this offering one of three haiku to be carried to Mars -- THE FIRST POETRY TO ANOTHER WORLD.

The Medical Emergency Bracelet

The Medical Emergency Bracelet

By Elton Camp

Many wear bracelets, others to apprise
What to do if an emergency should arise

“If you find me in trouble, please if you will
Under my tongue put a nitroglycerine pill.”

“I am extremely allergic to penicillin, you see
Just one injection could very easily kill me.”

“I suffer from an extreme form of diabetes.
Remember that fact when you treat me, please.”

LeRoy decided it’d be wise to get one too
For the one thing he needed someone to do

“If you find me lying helpless at your feet,
Before all else, my browser history delete.”

I Grew Up On Youtube

It's a feeding frenzy
But there are no sharks, Bess 
It's a moonlight sonata 
In total darkness 

It's a parallel region 
Brought to breach by a browser
It's a swollen moment 
With your miniature schnauzer 

I grew up on YouTube 
You can watch it unfold
The stages of childhood 
Caught in a scroll 

When you're doin your homework,
Don't believe the hype
Leave all the planning
To the God in the Skype 

There's no such disorder 
As the kind in your soul
I wished I had met you
Further up in the scroll

But I grew up on YouTube 
It charted my path
I've had more engagements 
Than the Wife of Bath

Premium Member Straight and Narrow -Formally Test

I have
Been
Relegated
Condemned
To follow
The straight
And narrow
Path
Of Poetic
Minimalism
I shall not 
Stray
From behaving
In this way
Its the straight
And narrow
All the way
From now on
For me


Straight Arrow

No more
Than a few
Words I can
Say
Its the new
Style
Of Poetry 
DONT stray
I shall abide
Keep things
