Degrasse Poems | Examples


Premium MemberDestruction of the Devil

He fell, yet held to denial
She'd gone several seasons to send him to hell
Cold iron rod was insufficient to smash him
She saw and stretched for the sledge
His face of caramel caved, dwindled he like a drunk
Rage of storm flung him fast amidst junk.

Astronomical lift cushioned her
Keen students returned respect, while she waged war
For the culprit, that aged false balm intent to win -
One would glean, Neil deGrasse Tyson discerned her dreams
He knew folk art, martial art, art of other sort
His gift lingered long like caution to one
For he stood as master of space she graced
She who observed in awe his wit, felt aroused.

Then and there, she feared no more the devil's lure
Weapons herculean lay wait
She pounced and pound, his faint voice drowned.
She lunged, sledgehammered away his head
Specialists would haul and burn remains,
joy and pain, touch of rain, prelude to spring renewal.

The Higgs Boson

Neil deGrasse Tyson
was first to collide with the awesome Higgs Byson
The God Particle
gave him enough material for another long article.

The Planet

The Planet *

Twinkle twinkle little planet
bluely liquid, gas and granite
seen below skied hemisphere
for my wonderment to revere

Enlightenment makes me scintillate
neurons spark to discriminate
I long to know, to understand
what makes it work since time began

When visions wonderment's have gone,
when sight fades, to gaze upon 
amazing things to mind ignite
my admiration and delight

Then closed is mind, and inquiry 
I've seen all I want to see
I'll know all I want to know
to know no more, 'cause I say so

But, don't be angry, don't be sad
because I close, is not that bad,
for you continue to see anew
universal time we travel through

So, twinkle twinkle little planet
we won't close our minds god dammit
we'll scan upon skied hemisphere
with wonderment continuing to revere
