God made the table periodic
with lanthanides and actinides
so students couldn’t be robotic
and left to right, just let it slide.
They have to use imagination
to try to see the valence shells
of elections in vibration
like so many ringing bells,
and thus you may say that the table
has three dimensions, like Creation
and that the student who is able
can make science a destination,
while those like me can’t make it fit
and meet hot girls in English Lit.
Andrew Budek-Schmeisser is a writer and poet, author of Blessed Are the Pure of Heart and Emerald Isle. His work can be found at his web site: Blessed Are the Pure of Heart, and many of his sonnets have appeared on the Steve Laube Agency blog.
