Tittle: The Comet (Poem)
Author: Norman Littleford (Poet)
Characters: Poet and Comet.
Theme: Comets are like libraries storing the record of our formation in tiny particles.
The poet Norman Littleford wonders at the beautiful spectacle of the comet in the sky. The comet is moving through the heavens at a great speed. It has never stopped at day or night. When a comet is a complete flight, it gives a spectacular scene. The poet says that it can never be compared with anything else for a lifetime. He says that a comet runs faster than a cheetah.
To him, a comet is more powerful and stronger than a mountain. The outer ice melts causing a vapour from its force. As it travels on its way, it leaves behind a trail. If the comet comes very close to the atmosphere, it can cause a shake which in turn produces a shockwave that reaches the Earth’s surface.
The scientists are of the opinion that the comets leave behind chemicals in the form of dust that has resulted in the emerging of life on earth and thus the mankind has come into existence. But it is not very sure whether this concept is true or not. However, he knows for certain that whatever the truth may be, the appearance of the comet in full flight is the best spectacular in the sky.
“A comet is an incredible and incomparable spectacle ”.
