-Nadia Sohn Fink, Rosh Hashanah 5783 (2022)

God was a firefly.

Harvest moon our witness.

God said weave the leaves

between the apples from the

Farmer's market and the

honey you didn't remember to get—

Recall your grandmother

God said hold her there:

Weave memory and light

Invite everyone in:

their grandmother,

what she always said,

what you forgot to tell her.

It's not too late or early.

Harvest moon nodded,

remembered his mother,

slipped behind the clouds.

God glowed green: Think!

Every thread

that's ever been still is!

Weave your book of life

With everyone's ancestor ink.

Thomas Callahan

 

The lightning sang me a thunder song

Then it seemed nothing is wrong

And wind was always like a child

Blowing, rushing, very wild.

NASA Webb Telescope Inspired Poem by Ryan Bellet

 

This poem is dedicated to my teacher, friend, and the most patient person I know, Kaira.

Nasa Webb telescope inspired poem 

8/23/22 

I’m amazed at the pictures from the Webb 

It makes me feel all miniscule 

And then my brain feels large 

It looks like Jupiter is in charge of the galaxy 

To ask for questions from space  

Is amazing as only a question could be 

To hear a black hole whisper and moan 

Is beyond my wildest dreams 

Only the moon is more powerful than these pictures 

It is the most light I have ever seen Jupiter in 

It makes the other planets seem like 

They exist to worship Jupiter
