Occasional Poetry - 53. Planck and Photosynthesis
em>Let me apologize to all biologists and physicists right away. Thank you. Now I feel better.
Photosynthesis
It's photosynthesis, I know,
that makes my garden lettuce grow
when sunlight causes plants to make
their carbohydrates then to stow.
They do this when I'm just awake,
the chloroplasts, their fluids bake,
producing sugars, which we crave
in corn, or in a chocolate shake.
By doing this, my roses save
their energy for blooms that wave
when breezes blow and rainclouds mass,
and birds seek homes in maples brave.
I worry for the summer grass;
we lie upon it, bold as brass,
force photosynthesis to slow;
but then your lips make thinking pass.
Planck
The energy from stars aflame,
or other source you care to name,
was measured by a man named Planck,
whose constant won eternal fame.
Now Max thought physics' hanky-pank
left radiance theory looking blank;
it's not continuous at all,
for quanta Planck is whom we thank.
These bits of energy, quite small
get measured, when we have the call;
Planck's constant times the frequency
is what we in the margin scrawl.
Now Planck may have the chieftaincy
in physics, but for frequence he
has nothing on our love's acclaim;
your radiance fires your piquancy.
