Harley White Poems

Volcanoes can engulf the land
in avalanching lava blaze
entombing picturesque Pompeiis,
for Nature has the upper hand.
...

Oh magnetar empyreal
of Norma constellation small,
with spin that's slow, mysterial
in supernova remnant sprawl
...

Within the flame of cosmic scale,
a nebula beyond the vale
of tears and fears and random mirth
upon an azure planet earth,
...

I had an ‘ant colony' as a child,
called ‘formicarium' technically,
enclosed behind glass with tunnels unwild
to watch them move in their captivity.
...

In evermore the star displays
will surely show their stellar days
to planetary dwellers there
whate'er their sentient being flair
...

In huge encounter underway
the Hubble's chosen to survey
a ‘perfect ten' is on display.
...

Upon our stage we romp and rage
in Goldilocks's golden cage
amongst colossal cosmic crowd
with spark of liveliness endowed
...

Such ancient stars so nightly nigh
may seem, while viewed through aided eye,
that we can only wonder where
or if they shone on beings there
...

Is there a stellar orb that's last,
beyond beyonds of cosmic vast?
I can't imagine such a thing,
no matter where my thoughts take wing,
...

Alone or if billowing by in crowds
of earthly firmament skies overhead
we see lifelike images in the clouds
and even in vastness of cosmic spread.
...
