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

NASA Image Of The Day
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...

Such a Lovely Grrl
 
 
Sweetness,
Such a lovely grrl,
Dark hair set off
By soft white skin,
She stands along
The ragged coastline,
Waiting for the wind to rise
And send her inland
To where I wait.
 
 
The night is young
But sweetness flows
Already, like honey
From her lips.
I wrap my arms
Around her protectively,
Drawing her closer
To silence her
With my kiss.
