Welcome!You have arrived at StarPoet, a comet falling toward morning. The poet's still here, Sappho's child, slightly disheveled.

| Hurricane Celia | ||
| Perfectly circular, powerful Hurricane Celia spaned hundreds of miles over the Pacific Ocean in this image from June 24, 2010. Rough-textured clouds surround the storm?s distinct eye. Farther from the center of the storm, spiral arms appear thinner and smoother. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, on NASA?s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Celia at 1:55 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 24, 2010. Just five minutes later, the U.S. National Hurricane Center classified Celia as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. Image Credit: NASA... |

Shift
The first time I saw you,
The paradigm shifted From a theory of sexual preferences To a rock sure desire For the sound of your voice, The touch of your hand, And the press of your body Against my thigh and breast. The uncertainty vanished
When you held me in your arms, Beneath the moon and stars, And answered my every question And gentle protest, Until I knew I wanted the answer That glowed brightly in your eyes, And I let my last quiet fear Slip away into the night. Copyright Lisa Jain Thompson October 21, 1996
