In Which I pay Another Tribute to Lady Thatcher

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! I do rejoice to be here and to see you. Happy Wednesday! How are you, this new day? How has the week been? I hope your Easter was a pleasant one, all the moments of joy and fulfillment. As for me, I am okay. A day at a time, this Tuesday was one of rest and wrapping up concerning my neuropsychological evaluation. I pray that I may receive the results soon. God knows what they will reveal, I certainly don't know. I thought they were going to do some reading of my brain using machines and x-rays, turns out it was not applied here. We will see what the professional will accuse next session, hopefully due by next week.  In the anniversary of her passing, I want to again take opportunity to pay tribute to Lady Thatcher, my favorite historical personality, my favorite prime minister, the lady that got so close to encapsulate all my ideas and put them into practice. Ah, Margaret, could as well have been the last hurrah of Britania...

In which the author shares another poem he made to the reader!!!

Hello everyone!! Happy Monday to you!!! Nice to be here, writing this post and just to be here! How are you today and how are things going?? As usual, I wish you the best, and hope everything is fine for you today!
It's not only every week, IT'S HALLOWEEN WEEK!!! WHAAT??? YES!!!! THE SPOOKINESS OF OCTOBER REACHES ITS APEX, WICH IS SO WONDERFUL AND SCARY! Okay, here the weather has nothing to do with fall, in fact, it has a lot more to do with a microwave at its maximum potential of heat, but anyway, the party is all on my mind, and I love it, If I had a costume to use, I'd wear it. I'll try to celebrate it on my own way, eating too much sugar and probably watching Nightmare Before Christmas for the 10th time (something I already do on a regular basis, BUT ANYWAY).



And, in this weekend that turned out to be longer than it should, with four days instead of 3 (since I usually don't have classes on Fridays), I had a rush of energy and decided to finish another poem I had in my mind for quite a while, another one about a long lost geological era of the Planet Earth, this one about the Ordovician period, one of my favorites for its name and because the first true algae forms are from this period, I believe. This one I liked better than my first one, even though still is born from improvisation and despair to get it "right". So... Here we go, to the poem.


THE ORDOVICIAN SEASHORE

By Daniel M.

The Ordovician seashore
It has no people around
To build sandcastles on its sandfloor.

The Primitive Foam and the first algae color the place
They won't be touched by the feets of the human race
Or any race
For there's no life on the land floor.

The wind blows cold and the rocks are freezing
For there's no birds to provide the heating.

The Ordovician seashore
Old times long forgotten
The trilobites are thriving though
Their existence is fresh
It has not already rotten.

In the waters we can see
The shells of the Nautile
Porific sponges form the first coral
And yet no eye will see.

The Ordovician seashore
Does it seem like a familiar landscape?

In the shores of Laurentia
Any familiar shape?

The Ordovician seashore
Reminds me of the shores of that beach back home
And yet no human will ever build
Sandcastles on its sand floor.

And this more thoughtful poem - I guess? -  Is what I have to offer to you today, dear reader! Lile the word Birkenia, I had the world Ordovician in my mind for years as well, due to my reading of some prehistoric lifeforms books, amazing books by the way. I love this, just seeing odd creatures BESIDES THE DINOSAURS THAT ARE SO OVERSATURATED!!!!! (I do like dinosaurs too, they're pretty cool). Thank you so much for reading and being here, you're the very best!!! The month of October is coming to an end soon, with the winds of November already here and the Halloween season on its hype! Tomorrow I'll made a post for album of the month, out of schedule, I know, but I don't love the idea of two posts in a day. And in Wednesday we're celebrating Halloween and saying goodbye to this odd month, October, lovely and spooky. See you guys tomorrow! Yahoo!
