Fusion of hydrogen
breathing life
into the stars
burning brightly

Proton chain dangling
as the mighty ones
press helium into carbon

Nitrogen to oxygen
then iron halts it all
in a bang the dragon
brings death and life

Pink cotton candy
Feathery clouds melt like air
Sweetness coats the tongue

The old rain lady came tap, tap, tapping.
“Come in, old woman.” I cried
And ne’er a word but rap-a-rapping.
Her cane she briskly plied.
Rap-tap the water was drop-a-dropping
from off the rain lady nose to toes.
Tap-rap the cane was plop-a-plopping.
From my feather soft bed, I arose.
The shade came down swish-a swishing
and hid the rain lady’s face–
But still I heard the twish-a-twishing
rap-tap cane all over the place.
