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...

At The End of The Day
By Sappho
 
Completed by Lisa Jain Thompson

 

May night's kindness find you resting
On some tender girlfriend's breast

May the moon shine full and bright
As you breathe her musk-filled scent

May two strong arms surround you
To hold you in her dreams

May dawn's gold rays inflame you
When you wake in sweet embrace

 
Copyright Sappho 600 B.C.E. and Lisa Jain Thompson 1998 C.E.
