International Laser Poetry Day

[clickamouse]

Greetings, all;

As we all know, April 1st is laser poetry day. Unsung (and un-projected) poets such as Lou Meeya, R.G. Bea Arthur, F.B. Fore, Betty Whitebalance, Ivan Wetter, and Brewster DiChreaux have toiled in the meta-verse for decades, cranking out metered tributes to our favorite wavelengths.

Here is my modest contribution, five limericks and a haiku:

There once was a fella named Dryer
Who took lasers a good distance higher
Made ‘em sing and tell stories
In coherent glory
He’s our laserist mega MacGyver

Our lasers all move, rarely static
Mighty pointy, but monochromatic
We mix colors with care
Fill the screen, dye the air
Our abstracts are all acrobatic

Them photons are made for projection
Living color all up for inspection
There ain’t nothing sweeter
Than nanos of meter
And beams bouncing bright in reflection

My E-Stop has rarely been used
My viewers are never abused
By beams that are silly
And shot willy-nilly
All eyeballs are safely amused

My galvos are tuned up and twisting
My hazer is fired up and misting
My lasers are hot
And aligned to a dot
Let ‘er rip, I’ve got software assisting

Laser Haiku:
Photons float afield
A movement of line and form
Light writ large: Lasers!
