I love the staccato. The brief lines really worked to your advantage here--one just kind of drags you into the next, and before ya know it, the whole thing's over, and you're sitting there wondering what the hell happened. I loved this, awesome work.

Meteorites are great aren't they. And when you see a good size one they are really awesome. Another fine one for your library Peter. And when seen they are like gods come to see us.

I remember seeing my first iridium flare:) I like the choppiness and suspense of this poem. You just know something is going to happen and you've set us up to expect something bad of the chair (stable as an Irish bank - lovely image), so even though we know something will happen, the something that happens takes us by surprise & blows us away. Excellent!

We saw this one - I'm sure the same one :) - it was jaw dropping and grand, yet you have given such an atmosphere of anticipation and an afterglow of appreciation. Thank you.
