Should this not be in the general forum?
kind of full of fluff if you know what I mean and the responses would
be a bit predictable. I want to post new science stuff somewhere
where maybe some intelligent comment would happen. I also
want to win the lottery......

in the heavens the works move unheaded
stirring the pot with ungloved hand,
the waters of gravid pools beneath
the frozen layers of grime.
Tiny orb we do delight in your spume
and plumes of mysterious fluvium,
blue and cold yet shouting bold,
you try to whisper possibilities
across frozen space to us.
Encaladus.

The poem is just written off the cuff and is more metric monologue than poetry.
As to life in the solar system and indeed in the universe...
Seeing as i'm in a wordish way today...
HAMLET
Never to speak of this that you have seen,
Swear by my sword.
Ghost
[Beneath] Swear.
HAMLET
Hic et ubique? then we'll shift our ground.
Come hither, gentlemen,
And lay your hands again upon my sword:
Never to speak of this that you have heard,
Swear by my sword.
Ghost
[Beneath] Swear.
HAMLET
Well said, old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast?
A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.
HORATIO
O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
HAMLET
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come;
Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,
How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself,
As I perchance hereafter shall think meet
To put an antic disposition on,
That you, at such times seeing me, never shall,
With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake,
Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,
As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,'
Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,'
Or such ambiguous giving out, to note
That you know aught of me: this not to do,
So grace and mercy at your most need help you, Swear.
Ghost
[Beneath] Swear.
HAMLET
Rest, rest, perturbed spirit!
They swear
edit... translation... It's better not to get too caught up in things. People will think you strange. LOL. Let's just keep any anticipatory excitement to ourselves, shall we? You know what they say about jewelry beads and pigs.

Many a bleet hath he done in yonder bagpipe, more uses for the
old swine, reaping revenge in the form of cringing pupliks upon the
reedy whine of the war pipes..
