Poetry 4 Physicists

The only poetry that has a dual wave-particle nature, until you observe it, of course.

Hannah Rose Baker

Haiku
Feather and baseball
Falling gently through the air
Which one will land first?

Romantic
A bird sits on a branch
What is his acceleration due to gravity?
What is the rate of change of the growth of his feathers?
I seek the answers to such enigmatic questions.
The wine of science offers no relief from
the incessant queries in my head.
Oh Einstein! Newton! Gods of Science!
That I might take a compass
And plunge it into my heart.
But even at that moment of death would I wonder
"What is the viscosity of my blood,
As it leaks from my dying body?"

Limerick
There once was a man we call Newton
His theory of gravity was a good one
But when it came to calc
Leibniz beat him out
Though I suppose the point is a moot one
