Inspired on by the line “how time has ticked a heaven round the stars” from Dylan Thomas’s poem ‘The force that through the green fuse drives the flower’, I had my haiku medley featuring Galileo published in Love The Words Anthology for Dylan Day 2021 (discoverdylanthomas.com)
Here is a revised version I tweeted. If you think it preferable
to the version published, I’d be glad to know!
Eyeballing the sun
Galileo lost his sight
For truth, now all see
The light of reason
Till an unsolar wind blows
‘Alternative’ facts
Guttering candle
As encroaching darkness
Threatens extinction
