About 'The Periodic Table' (pg 162)

 

There's one hundred and eighteen elements

To learn on the periodic table

How do we these elements represent

In poetry?  Since they are important.

How do we these elements get to know?

These elements we would like to explore.

 

A science of forms is hard to explore

In poems, to capture the elements

A different construct to get to know.

Unlike the construction of the table

Is this poem - and yet it's important

To capture its essence and represent

 

The wisdom of the table.  Represent

The elements in poems, to explore

Why its existence is an important

Scientific message.  The elements

In poem - a message of the table,

The message is scientific, please know.

 

There's no better place a message to know

Than in a poem and there represent

Ways to learn the periodic table,

Nowhere else but a poem to explore

The significance of the elements.

Therefore, see my tribute, it's important.

 

There is no other place more important

Than through poem, the elements to know.

Boron included in the elements

Zinc, gold, lead, tin, iron, to represent

That they are there and to try to explore

How much more significant the table

 

Is presented by poems.  The table

Is nowhere else any more important

Than when simple poems want to explore

Why the message is important, so know

That it's science it tries to represent

When poems talk about the elements.

 

Tributes to the table of elements

The important poem does represent,

And it explores its existence, thus know.
