Best Saturn Poems
Butterflies of SaturnHere are butterflies that skip
Dull steps of metamorphosis
No isolation in coocoons
No gorging grubs like fat balloons
Pure genesis on snow kissed flowers
Comes with no imperiled hours
Their slow, eternal life begun
Beneath a pink pearlescent sun
Reflecting tints from rainbows born
With pastel lights of endless dawn...

Saturn on Saturday NightThis rink ranks right up there.
My power skates, slice each ring,
the scent of ice assails my nose.
Funny in the absence of air, I breathe.
It must be a dream. I don’t care.
The wind of Saturn blows through my hair.
No wind, you say, but I will believe
what...

Another Saturn Sunrise:The C.I.A. and K.G.B. with the F.B.I and N.C.A
Could not find what I lost today.
I even tried NASA who were quick to reply,
"We are sorry Sir, but we have searched all through space,
Every Solar system and galaxy but could not find a trace."
"Who said...

Saturn - God's FavoriteSATURN - GOD’S FAVORITE
This floating sovereign rules her black see *
Like an Inquisition bishop - perfect : accepts no plea
No argument no competition,
Watching me watching her in adoration,
Her cold unblinking eye
Reigning the...

The Death of SaturnIn the early morning sky before Sol erased the night
The Devil’s Triangle did possess the night
In the fourth house Father Time was to be buried
He had many children both mortals God and Goddess
In the fourth house set the constellation Sagittarius and along
side him come one...

Saturn, Bringer of Old AgeBringer of Old Age
Saturn, that's what you always were
You move quite slowly
At a snail's pace
Twenty-nine point forty-six
Years, orbit the Sun
Named after a god
Within the Roman pantheon
Of farming and TIME...

Saturn Day Night LiveSkating
‘round the rings of
Saturn, my Triple Lutz
lands in my dreams. Mighty Mimas
looks and beams, but nearby Enceladus
screams when Pan drives the Zamboni,
right over poor Methone.
Complicating
Skating.

Tragedy On Saturn - SonnetBetrayal my love, lift high the laterne
Face Venus in retrograde traverses
Translucent on corners remote curses
Born black, myriads of stars find Saturn
Accouterments of time form a pattern
Empty space ends where voided souls cascade
She lives on the outer planet decayed
Contaminated world spins through that turn
Our cold orbits...

Saturn Devours His SonIn the void lurks a titan.
The father of the gods themselves.
Though by now he wishes that he was not.
But the selfish titan lord Kronos,
The father of the Olympians named Saturn,
Must want to reclaim the life that he poured into his children.
As he stands there,
Crouched in...

Saturn, the Bringer of Old AgeSaturn, you take a very long time to orbit the Sun
29.46 years
You were the slowest moving object known in ancient times
They who observed you didn't have telescopes
Saturn, they thought you were the slowest planet
They didn't know about Uranus and Neptune...

The Twelve Kisses of *saturn - Part 4* (Saturn is esoterically associated with the twelfth month of December)
… raining, raining! – disrobed heaven’s
chain of glittering tears
washing our earthen face, and
I raise my umbrella
thinking of you
in the shattered liquid glass
around us…
… warmth of our enveloping womb…
* * *
… let’s cross the *lyric mountains
to...

Cool Thrills Out ThereSkating upon Saturn's rings, on the outskirts of gold,
executing my double axel, in the brisk, season of cold.
The sole sound is of ice skates, spraying bits behind;
In rich, purple dusk, of the chaotic universe entwined.
A wide-eyed dreamer, in the red heartbeat of fantasy,
does slow twirls...
