Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

Would that be alpha with respect to the angular acceleration about an axis?
Cool take!
It’s all too ‘big’ for me… You’re seeing it from way above and I want to see it from a microscope angle… But it is a beautiful poem!
ha…a tricky bit of mechanics, but how fascinating to watch the flywheels spin eh?
“obstinate flywheels
consummating
transportation”
Those who are obstinate wind up performing the greatest work, creating masterpieces, and inventing worlds.
i like how you see that.
Not sure if I am coming or going…great juxtaposition.
I love it! And lots of good new words for my ever increasng vocab… 🙂

I can hear the gears moving through your words.
Imagine being so smart, and writing great poetry too!
that’s so nice of you to say!! 🙂
one has to be obstinate in order to persevere
All sound like a good life-wrenching to me!
Haha… I could ‘almost’ hear them groaning. 🙂
It’s all Greek to me. But I sure like the way you put it together.
=)
Now that’s a different spin on the prompt! I quite like it, and very fitting for the Astro- poet.
Moving right along here…. I loved the ‘obstinate flywheel’. There is so much technical motion in your response. I enjoyed the jargon. Thanks for engineering this and sharing it too. =D
Very, very cool and very clever too! I quite enjoyed this.
The locomotives would sure groan. It took great efforts to keep them going!

A strong poem, pushing forward. I enjoyed the read.
REally enjoyed this piece. So steampunk. Cool

What a great line, “consummation of transportation” , i guess it is a rather , ahem, creative act !
The spare mechanical feel of this piece matches the title perfectly…
Great play with words. Terrific. : )
This is most unique! All kinds of technical jargon making it all the more intriguing!
Interesting piece deserves a second read.
It’s all Greek to me too but I love your creativity!
A text book argument and very entertaining.
I keep going back to re-read this over and over – it’s succinct and yet oh-so-telling, just wonderful …
Whoa! A poem as written by a physicist. I’m not sure I understand it all, but I love the way you put words together (“inertial moment”). Thank you.
