Billion
years ago were two orbiting black holes
Closer
they drew; they collided and merged through
Space-time
fabric was warped; still it folds and unfolds
The
colossal collision set off these gravitational waves
Stacking
crest after trough, endlessly propagating, until time stays.
I wrote this poem to celebrate the historic day on which mankind first observed the gravitational waves directly! This poem - an acrostic - has more than the word formed by first line first letter, second line second letter and so forth. There’s another word in it. Can you find what that is?
