Fame not fortune

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Any fan would recognize them in
A minute, but why are the famous
Famous. For talent, I'm sure, they
Are good at what they do. That's 
Why and where they got us fans
To fawn and pfumffer. Fame can
Flicker like the light of a candle in
The wind. You age and that talent 
Is no longer in demand. But you,
You made your name. Any fan will
Remember you. You are recognized.

How the moon?

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

The moon in daylight
Is it worth a penny, as it might be
For your thoughts, or millions as
In "it is out of reach and far away?"
Your thoughts are very lofty if you
Are focused on the moon. For some
Of us just navigating the earth is
Challenge enough, and that doesn't 
Require packing for the unfamiliar
Atmosphere of a distant delicate 
Moon, cold and yet still romantic.
Our moon is symbolic of all things 
Love and loving. Lovers meet below
A blue moon or celebrate a yellow
One. Its phases are phrases of awe
And praise. Full moon or crescent
Where will you land? Will you go?

Big teeth

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

Big bodied beasts once 
Wandered over hill and,
You know, dale. Some ate
Others. Others ate leaves.
TRex was scariest, but the
One who is biggest is new 
To my vocabulary. He is 
Patagotitan mayorum or
Titanosaur. His femur was
8 feet long. My my. Bigger
Than others they've found.
Pata. M. was prone to eating 
Plants. Two meat eaters were
Discovered larger than King
Tyrannosaurus. Things have
Changed since I learned my
Lessons at the Museum of
Natural History. They say
From new finds that these
Dinos roamed at different
Geological eras and the 
Numbers of how long ago
Are as big or bigger than
The big bodied beasts that
Wandered o'er hills past.

Elusive

I see my footfalls drop in the
Clouds that line a path in the
Sky. Upside down, but headed
Toward an infinite aerie in the
Air. Above always above and
So much more to go than we 
Go here below. It's infinite in
The sky, clouds massing in the
Patterns they form, light and
Airy. Above. Here below it's so
Finite and defined. There is so
Much more to explore above
In the clouds. My path in the 
Sky has no end. Doesn't stop

Red sun

Tonight, the sun was a red so
Improbably fiery, it slipped
Outside of all memory. It was
As round as a beach ball but
Left the feel of a full moon in
Its passage across my near
Sky. Bright and beautiful it 
Disappeared, peaking behind 
Familiar buildings in its odd
And unfamiliar voyage. Red.
Not the red of sunsets but a
Big red setting sun filling my
Window with its unusual
Presence. No precedent for
A sun like this. Fiery and red.
