    Great poem :)

    The accumulating snowball really relays the idea of mass brilliantly. Not only that, but the idea of growing… the basic elements of the universe amounting to so much more as they accumulate together…

    Lovely :)

    Lary :)

    I love to read about the collider, it’s fascinating stuff.

    I’m quite optimistic about where it will lead. Exciting times. . . if they can keep it working.

    Great to ‘see’ you.

    Thank you, Christopher…that is just how I felt, even though I’m unable to grasp the scientific aspects. ;)

    Hi Chen-ou, I’m glad I discovered this interesting site…good to see you too!

    Thanks, Dick…I really appreciate your comments!

    Hey Terry, it’s nice to connect again! Yes, I’m also fascinated by the overall concept, although in a way it’s a bit scary…especially reading about the fears that some people have about possibly creating a black hole. And of course the 2012 doomsday stuff doesn’t help, lol!

    It’s a beautiful poem Laryalee, and the science, well let’s wait and see, but it makes for good headlines.

    Hey Laryalee! I agree with all of the above comments. This is a beautiful and intriguing poem. I’ve admired your work in Simply Haiku and a few other web-zines. I’m glad to see you published here!
