August 11 - Meteorite
It was half-past noon
when the meteorite struck,
turning bones to dust
So cool. Like a news report, which makes it even more chilling🖤
The time reference is brilliant.
Ahhh thank you! Something random that popped into my brain. 🖤
Dinosaurs suffered
Now, humans will feel our rain
Fiery stone showers
Love this! A little cosmic vengeance?
Yep!
Struck by lightning and survived,
nothing more outlandish
could befall. I'm safe, I am -
Your body will be worth so much money now. Little jars filled with singed tissue floating in formaldehyde. Dented cranium? 💰
Haha. I like this.
Alien iron forged
Into arcane blade of lore...
Thus Excalibur!
The invader! Stuff from space... Scary.
Might be a space virus, might be Superman🤷♀️
Streak across the sky
A life summarised in flame
You might make your mark
So beautiful, love the ‘might’ in the last line🖤
Mystery mound.
Lost and found.
Colloidal cosmic crater
Displaced debris.
Another one I loved reading allowed😍
Ha! Aloud… autocorrect 🤦♀️
Allowed is good.
One of my superhero characters gained her powers as the result of being smacked down during a Perseid-like shower.
Oh cool! The Perseids peak this weekend I think, or around this time?
Air punctured by ball
of iron digs into earth;
dirt flies. Take cover!
I love the action you described! There is so much movement in this little space🖤
Rock flying through space,
Enjoying the trip, until,
Earth got in the way... 😎
😂 Love this take! How could we be so rude?
Absolutely! He was having fun exploring the cosmos, and we ruined it. Haha... 😎
Heimdal's sword Hofud!
Wow I didn’t realize there were so many😂 I guess it is a pretty cool way to get your sword. Now I kinda want one.
The list goes on and on…😂
Not to mention the spears and axes and othe implements of destruction! (Gungnir, for example…)
And (for real) Tutankhamun’s dagger, found in his tomb, the oldest known weapon made from iron harvested from a meteorite.
Wow I didn’t know that! Cool!
The Egyptians harvested a lot of iron from meteorites apparently, so they had iron technically before the Iron Age started in most places. Pretty cool stuff.
Wow, that nickel content (11%) is up there with alloy and stainless steels…pretty cool!
I didn’t know that!
This was Dragvandil!
Thus was Angurvadal!
Thus was Durendal!
