ArtistHighly detailed salt infused watercolour oil pastel ink painting ofA young male inventor dressed in 18h century clothing, a tailored suit, with button-down shirt, collar, decorative vest, long trousers, sitting on a ornately carved wooden high-back chair at a roll-top wooden desk, writing a letter, dreaming of a steampunk flying ship with lacy wings, gears and things, window looking out on a field of long grasses with the plant Goldenrod at the edge of a forest, soft early morning light, mist, beauty. 18th century. Arthur Rackham, Edward Robert Hughs, Monet, Masefield Parrish, James Holland
A poem I wrote long ago (before the internet) with hints as to what the plant Goldenrod, Solidago may be good for. At the time, I thought this information was important and still do. Now much of this knowledge has become common, which I think is great! Do look up it, if you will!
Meanwhile, below is the poem with a few examples of how I tied the information as hints within the poem.
Saul Idago
brought up again
in a letter to his kin,
Aaron
his undying dream of flying
in a ship with lacy wings
gears and things
that spun and whirled
about silently
except when
periodically
one could see
and hear
small explosions of gas
that would propel all forward
(no need to be worried)
as it rose only between
3 to 8 feet with each blast.
So, there’d be no fear of falling
for if it did happen
and one found oneself thrown
to the ground,
It’d be quick and rather light.
as from this minuscule height
there shouldn’t be much of a wound
to be found.
He further wrote,
It would be a ship
you could relax in
maybe take a nap
once or twice a day
It could promote healing
as it would serve as a repose
from daily dealings
Would I kid you? .Nay!
Let us stimulate our lives here
Cast a golden spear
Set a date before
Summer’s Farewell
to build a ship
but not an ordinary one as it
would fly, and be painted
a vibrant brilliant yellow,
to signify
this luminescent idea,
wouldn’t you agree
especially once
it’s all off the ground
By my own insight
It can take flight
Do not unjustly accuse me
of not being sound.
Can I influence you at all
Come on now, join in with young Saul
Match your thoughts up
together with mine.
It’s a fresh new idea
leave it to me, I’ll
soar on through with it
positively in time.
