Description

The Poeming Pigeon

Cosmos

What’s out there in the great beyond? Could we survive on Mars? What is dark matter? Are wormholes the secret to time travel?  Human curiosity is as vast as the universe itself, and these poems may provide some unique answers—or at least a little stardust to sprinkle in your morning coffee.

Sample Poems:

How Everything Began

by Bruce Meyer

        ~in memory of Stephen Hawking

Because the universe needed answers,
he took the voice of an answering machine,

and when the universe almost listened,
it heard how everything began as questions.

Tonight, with sleeping pills ingested,
I close my eyes to time and temper,

knowing somewhere everything belongs
to a piece of ancient matter torn by light.

If I dream the numb dream of death
before waking to the spark of morning sun,

in that mortal sleep of silent thoughts,
I shall pass a traveler on his way to forever,

and think of that moment as an eternal now,
then say it was the instant all nows began.


Cosmosity

by David Belmont

after
providence
destiny
kismet
and fate

before
serendipity
synergy
synchronicity
and sympatico

there was cosmic

as in
that was cosmic, man

a simple happy thing
that made you smile
even when you weren’t tripping
