Raven q(r)uark, crassing, voicing,
mate circling a similar air.
Independent, minded, capable
of linguistic displacement, weighted
with significant information –
it was present at inception.
This new part(icle) bird, part
Gesture, a caws celebre,
Big bang of wings a flight path,
String theory applied
To its nest of black gravity,
Its entangled stare, its feathered
Dark matter.
My Physics take on Petru’s (petrujviljoen) Song. Latest attempt at Jilly’s July Challenge.
Love this! Petru DID drop the ‘quark’ bomb. How very quantum of you. Feathered dark matter – so much word play here.

Thanks. Decided that it needed to be both a Raven and Particle Physics poem, for better or worse.

Your raven reminds me of the Eagles — “There’s a New(kid in)ton.” Awesome! And she did open the portal with quark….

Just wonderful! What does qbit stand for by the way? I should visit your About page! Black gravity and the whole response was great! As usual the comment exchanges are equal fun!

A qbit (or qubit) is a quantum computing term. It is like a bit (0 or 1) in regular computing, but because of quantum uncertainty, a qbit can have multiple, simultaneous values. This turns out to be very interesting and allows solving many types of problems quickly that would take regular computer the life of the universe to complete. At least in theory, although there is some tangible progress in the lab. You did throw down “quark”, and if subatomic poetry is on deck, count me in, LOL!

I love quark besides crassing the best! And a raven is loaded with all sorts of heavy duty major stuff so I thought it suited.

BTW, “crassing” might be my favorite word for this month. Loved that.

Thanks. Probably too tightly packed, I was just coming off the Antithetical challenge, LOL. I don’t mind asking readers to work a bit, but when the wife gives me a blank WTF look, probably a *bit* too much.

I have to disagree! I loved how tight it was and it was not overdone. It was a lot of fun for me.

I sense the Anthropic Principle at play here in regards to a birth of a poem so perfectly created. Your brain, Q, is quite the sustainable planet for brilliant poems to form and thrive.
