Poems About IRES Projects

Inspiration for art can come form the weirdest places

A Haiku About Nitrate Isotopes (Joe's Project)
By Kyle

Joe came and sampled
For two days out of sixty

More work is ahead


A Sonnet About Collecting Tissue Samples From Corals (Ana's Project)
by Alanna

Oh corals that I smell
Little white and porous blocks
Like little birds within your flocks
On the table do you dwell
Knowing not you soon face hell
The airbrush awaits and soon knocks
Away falls your tissue like golden locks
Why your little bodies we destroy?
To study the genes of your tulips
And publish the findings in a journal
For the science we employ
The sacrificial polyps

Despite the methods most infernal


A Limerik About Groundwater Sampling (Alanna's Project)
by Kyle

Oh pit on the beach you're a crater
You took days of hot sweat and hard labor
But now it is done
It was all in good fun
The results could not have been greater


A Pontoon About Uranium Dating (Kyle's Project)
by Alanna

For Uranium, Thorium, Lead
To know the dates I need
238, 234, 210
The estuarine sediment

To know the dates I need
clean, Clean, CLEAN!
The estuarine sediment
Off to the Neptune do you go

clean, Clean, CLEAN!
For Uranium, Thorium, Lead
Off to the Neptune do you go
238, 234, 210


A Freeform Poem About Pb Isotopes (Chia-Te's Project)
by Joe (with a lot of help from Kyle and Alanna)

There's dust in the air I swear
Says the man whose skin is fair
We're not sure why it's there
Maybe we should be aware
Where all this lead is coming from?
