I would not glorify it by the name
Of love, nor would I with those poets stand,
Who’ve given it such undeserving fame,
And sung its praises all throughout the land.
They, saying that its passion is in truth
True love, deserving everyone’s devote,
Did thus deceive impressionable youth
Who chose on ones unknown to them to dote.
Though Shakespeare with his talent gave it worth,
And Dante lived it, both of them were fools,
To speak of it as real as stony earth,
For such quick passion just as quickly cools.
I think that ‘courtly love’ is no more true
Than cake is stone, or planet Venus blue.
Here are some haiku about commercial space transportation company SpaceX. The subject of each is something to do with SpaceX, such as a rocket or spacecraft.
Sleek, thin and white
Exhaling flame, it rises up
And pierces the sky
The first tech demo
A few hundred kilograms
Into Earth orbit
Launched on a rocket
The smallest of supply ships
For the ISS
South African-born
The head of two companies
He’s the CEO
